UPDATE 1/6/2015: I apologize as I will be taking a considerable time off from the nannying business as I prepare for my first precious baby due 2/5/2015! Hello! I am a Smith College graduate (2014), newlywed-navy wife, and will be in the Newport area for a year. I have TONS of work experience and many talents that I am eager to apply to my passion for childcare. I have cared for my younger sister since I was 12 (she was 6) by cooking meals, driving and tutoring her. I was an overnight camp counselor for girls ages 12-14 years old for 3 months and perform admirably in emergencies or high-stress situations. Additionally, I am the godmother of twin baby girls and have exceptional experience with infants. Currently my ultimate goal is to become a certified midwife (CNM) after this year in Newport, as I have been studying Pre-Medicine for four Read more years. I am trained in CPR, first aid and I'm a certified Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguard, though I am in the process of renewing some of my certifications. I love making up games and songs, crafting, cooking, knitting, dancing and I sang professionally for my college. I swam competitively for 6 years and coached swim teams of all ages for 4 years, and my physical health is my biggest priority. I love eating healthy, exercising, and being outdoors, but most of all I love talking and spending time with kids!
