I am currently working remotely at a national nonprofit with families that do not have local emotional nor practical support. Prior to this I worked as the Program Director at a nonprofit again supporting women and families with practical resources and emotional support, and before that I was working in technology at one of the largest youth-focused non-profits in NYC. I have many years (about twenty) of childcare experience and lifelong experience babysitting for family (as mine is quite large - especially with the recent addition of my own little one) and have worked with all age ranges from infant - teens. I love working with children, have always been around them, and enjoy being a small part of a child's development be it in an educational, familial, or recreational setting. I am very respectful of each individual family's values and rules while making sure to always reinforce that need Read more for mutual respect. I speak English, Spanish, and some French and have worked with families as a nanny and babysitter (besides my jobs noted above), in a school and daycare center, and have also been a swim and karate instructor and coach. Due to these experiences and my own nature, I enjoy being active with the kids I babysit for, as well as spending time reading and learning, and cultivating a curious spirit. I also like to have a candid and professional relationship with their parents.
