My name is Jordanna and I am graduating in May from The Pennsylvania State University. I am majoring in Psychology, minoring in Human Development Family Studies, and a member of the Schreyer Honors College, while maintaining a 3.88 GPA. I am looking for a babysitting, nannying, or mother's helper position. I am a very outgoing, bubbly, and friendly individual who is able to engage your child/children in creative and fun ways. I am also extremely responsible and will be able to enforce any preexisting house rules you have for your child/children. I have my own transportation, so if your child is enrolled in any activities I will be able to drive him/her for you. I am CPR and First Aid certified, so your child/children will be safe with me! My family has two dogs, so I would also be fine with any pets or animals that your family owns. Although Read more young, I have over eight years of child care experience. I have experience with all age groups, and I am comfortable working with children of any age. My relevant experiences are as follows: Most recently, I was enrolled within a practicum at my university where I administered a social intervention for 9- to 11- year-old boys with a variety of disorders such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorder. Two summers ago, I watched two little girls, aged 5 and 2, while their mother was on bed-rest. Once the baby was born, I was able to keep the children entertained and occupied while their mother cared for their new sibling. I still babysit the girls when I am home during breaks! At school, I have worked part-time within an in-home daycare center. With this position, I was often responsible for up to five children at a time, ranging in age from four months to fourteen years. Three summers ago, I was a summer nanny for a 3 1/2 month old extremely premature infant. This job required me to administer medical needs such as a nebulizer, and other medications when necessary. It also required a great deal of responsibility, attention, and the ability to remain calm if something was going wrong While in high school, I worked in a daycare center for a year with a low-functioning autistic child. During this time, and also while in middle school, I casually babysat for several families. If you have any further questions, please feel free to message me! Hope to hear from you soon!

Jordanna does an excellent job working with the children. She works with anywhere from 3-6 children at a time between the ages of 3 months - 14 years in my registered family child care home. Very reliable, good communiction skills, able to follow my instructions, and handles all situations very well. I would highly recommend her.
