Hello! I’ve been providing child care for over 15 years now. I’ve been a babysitter, live-in nanny, and preschool teacher. I’ve been working as a pediatric occupational therapist for the past 4 years now, working with children from birth to 18 years old. I have my masters degree as well as completed my doctorate doing research in the NICU. I have extensive experience with children of all ages as well as those with multiple disabilities. I do have a full time job, however, I am off Saturdays and Sundays. I’m open to a reoccurring after school job and/or the occasional help as needed!
