I have always had a passion for working with children; as the eldest of four, it was second nature. Years of helping look after my younger siblings proved excellent training; by age eleven I was babysitting for local families, and in a few short years took on a full time nanny position. I worked with this family for many years- from the time their first child was still in diapers, through the birth of their fourth! It was an amazing experience that taught me so much, and forged a bond that remains strong to this day. Throughout my teens, I spent my summers working as Theater Instructor for a local summer camp; teaching dances, songs and stories to children ages 5-11. For the past 2 years I have worked with a truly wonderful family as nanny to adorable twin girls; watching them grow and learn was an unbelievably rewarding experience. Read more The girls started school this past September which (sadly!) means they no longer need full-time care. While I will miss them immensely, I look forward to building an equally strong bond with my next family. *Art Instruction/Creative Learning* My degree in Fine Art and love of all things creative play a big role in my work as a caregiver. Whether you are seeking art lessons for your child, or simply a caregiver that will provide a stimulating, imaginative environment; I enjoy incorporating my artistic background with my work as a caregiver. Whether it be an arts and crafts project or imaginative game that sparks new ideas; a creative approach builds self-esteem and helps children develop healthy, productive ways to express themselves.
