I have been working with infants and children for the last 10 years and I also have three children of my own. I have my Associate's degree in Psychology and I am continuing my education in hopes to become an Adolescent Clinical Therapist. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I love working with kids on a personal level by learning their personality. I use a hands-on approach to gain the trust of both parent and child. Providing childcare isn't just a job, it's accepting to play a large role in a child's life and help guide them as they grow and develop. I love fun and smiles but I also like to promote educational activities appropriate to the child's age (for example going over the alphabet or doing puzzles with a toddler, or practicing tummy time with an infant!) I strive to become not only their babysitter, but one of their best friends. I have a genuine love and passion for kids and I have realized this is my life's calling. I think that providing childcare would be the best job for me while I am continuing my education because it's doing what I love, working in the direction I plan to go with my career and also allows me to keep my son with me while I work, which gives him the opportunity to interact with other children. I have excellent writing and verbal skills, my specialty is drawing and arts & crafts, skilled hider, below average seeker, animal lover, excellent board game player, excellent story time reader and swing pusher, great at cuddling and I know the tickle monster very well, excellent boo-boo kisser, and I may not be the best singer or dancer but that doesn't stop me from putting on a show. I don't mind embarrassing myself for a laugh (well for the kids at least)! It's so easy to make them smile and I absolutely love doing it.

Although I have traded in my professional teaching and nanny career for an office environment several years ago, I worked as a nanny for approx. two years (7 months to 8 years old), opened an in-home daycare (18months-3yrs), and worked in daycare centers and pre-schools for many years after that. I also have been babysitting since I was about 13 years old and have actively served in my church's in the children's ministry and nursery. I currently lead a small team of ladies for nursery at current church. Due to working a full time job, I am currently only available for weeknight/weekend opportunities (date nights, etc).

I have six years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns up; I am a mother of four, including twins! My first job was at a Head Start public school, where I worked for three years. After taking a year off at home, I worked at Tiny Tots, a daycare in Warrenton—I love caring for children! I left that job because I wanted to spend the holidays at home with my twins, and now I am looking for childcare work. I am a very good cook, I can handle cleaning, and so on; if you hire me, I guarantee you won't regret it.

Hi there! I'm a 3rd-year teacher with experience teaching 2nd and 3rd grade, so I'm well-versed in creating fun and engaging activities for kids. I've also spent summers leading classroom camps for children aged 3-6, and growing up with younger siblings has given me plenty of hands-on experience. I love working with children and would be thrilled to provide a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for your little ones!

My love for children began when I was a teenager, when I started babysitting. That love eventually led me to a 32-year career as a teacher, where I have had the privilege of working with children from infants through teenagers. I am caring, patient, dependable, and creative, and I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun. My years as a teacher have taught me how to understand and connect with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I take the safety and well-being of children very seriously. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, nurturing personality, and genuine love of children to a family as a trusted and dependable nanny.
