I am a 29 year old female looking for child care work. I grew up in Spokane Washington and received a double degree in Psychology and Women Studies after 4 years at the University of Washington in Seattle. I have been living in Brooklyn NY over the past 6 years working in foodservice and volunteering with various organizations working with at risk youth.  I'm also an experienced dog walker and pet caretaker.  I have had a significant amount of experience working with children ages 6mo to 14 yrs. I nannied full time for 2 different families in NY. As a part of both jobs I did grocery shopping and cooking as well as personal errands. I absolutely love nannying.  I approach relationships with youth as an exchange of respect, understanding and trust.  I believe in the power of listening, empowerment and validation.  I have a flexible schedule to work around your Read more needs.  I am reliable and recognize that your needs in the context of your child's care are priority.  I would love you help you out!
