Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile :) I'm happy to help you out when a much-needed break or date-day or work responsibility pulls you away from your sweet children. If you choose to work with me, you'll find I'm warm, loving, caring, responsible, protective of the children I care for, and easy-going. I am a part-time nanny for a 2 yr old boy and occasionally care for 6 families with children ages 2 months-6 years old in the area. I love playing games with them, doing arts and crafts, reading to and with them, cooking for them, playing outside on a lovely day, and finding what delights them. Their energy and excitement is contagious! For the infants, I'm perfectly comfortable and skilled at changing diapers and feeding (bottles, baby food, etc.) and putting down for naps when needed and keeping them entertained and giving lots of attention so Read more they're not bored or lonely :) I'm also a working actor and freelance editor. My babysitting career began when I was 11 as mother's helper caring for triplets who I then babysat through my college years. That wonderful family referred me to friends and neighbors and I built experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and children up through age 15. I also loved working as a dance and drama instructor and cared for kids in the before-and-after-camp program for ages 5-16 in the summer of 2007. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope to meet you soon! Sincerely, Colleen
