Hello! I'm Evelyn, a 33yo babysitter + nanny with extensive childcare experience with babes, toddlers, and youth ages 5mo to 18 yrs. I'm available through the holidays (December 25th) to help with childcare and/or overnight care. ABOUT ME: I have 15+ years of childcare experience, most recently as a nanny for in a 3-kid nanny share arrangement for 2.5 years. I am an optimist, light-hearted, and kind person. I value integrity and bring this element into my time with the children I work with. I foster honest, curious conversation, and value expressing gratitude and kindness as a way of being. So far, I think this has had a meaningful impact with several of the children I've worked with. My childcare strengths are teaching self-care routines, meal prep basics, and other life skills. I can assist with sleep training and routine setting. I am also very good at engaging with children Read more both verbally and non-verbally. I find young children become more verbally expressive from our time together - I use song, repetition, praise, and clear enunciation to help them feel more confident and excited to use verbal language. When working with children, I love exploring the city with them and using the external world as our classroom. I encourage my young friends to explore the breadth and beauty of civic life (libraries, parks, transportation, classes, volunteering, etc.). am passionate about helping children and young people better understand and ultimately, celebrate, the diversity and complexity of their surrounding environment. I'm also a fluent Spanish and Portuguese-speaker if languages are of interest.
