Meet Heather
- Comfortable with pets
I have worked with kids off and on since the age of twelve. More recently, I've been working as a nanny / babysitter on the UES for the past 8 years. I am college educated and have experience with newborns through age 13. During this time I have done it all. From preparing food, advising on toys, games and books that stimulate their brain, to help creating a bedtime routine. I truly enjoy keeping kids excited about learning. I turn every boring task into a fun learning experience. I am currently working part-time so I would have to give notice. I have excellent references. I love to work on arts and crafts, incorporate uplifting music that teaches and books that enthrall them. I truly have a passion for childcare! This is my second career by choice. CPR certified, I can swim, have been skking since I was 3, English Read more is my first language and I have a valid passport.
