I have been a babysitter/nanny for over twelve years. I feel I have been a great influence on the children I have been with over the years and have learned something from each child. I am proficient in infant and toddler care and potty training. I do have the most experience with children under two, though I have worked with children ages 3 months - 15 years. I think education through play is extremely important and I like to let children imagine and create as much as possible. I have taken early childhood education classes so I am experienced in designing a stimulating day for a child. My nannying style for school age children is to support them in their school work and learning as well as be a very fun friend to them. I enjoy playing with children on their level but can also respect family rules. I am Read more a graduate of Rhode Island College, and I consider myself a career nanny. Above all, I am an extremely loving and caring person.
