Hi! I am a seasoned sitter, teacher and nanny. I have the full gamut of certification, including an ECE degree, CDA qualified, teaching certifications, and CPR/First Aid. I'm not your average teenage sitter, as working with children is my life's work . I have been a preschool teacher since 1998(with about 10 years mixed in that time as a full time nanny), and have flourished as a patient, enriching educator. Some of my experience in child development centers includes combined work as a program coordinator. I work with all ages of children, including newborns. My specialty is with Toddlers through Preschool. I also have experience with older children through work with YMCA camps for several years. In addition, I have several years of sitting experience, including babysitting, housesitting, and pet sitting, and traveling with families. I speak fluent English and pretty fluent Spanish. I speak some Italian, German, and French... Read more but need more practice to be more comfortable with it, and would love to work with a bilingual family. I am currently open to sitting positions, mostly evenings and weekends. I am more open to a regular scheduled position, but flexible for last minute requests. As a bonus, I use the wealth of my accumulated library of books, games, and materials to your advantage and come with new items as our time will allow. Thank you for browsing my profile, and feel free to contact me with any and all questions. Have a fabulous day! **** Please be aware... Though I do have a vehicle, I prefer not to use it for child-related outings. For a sitting position, I rely on nearby or in-home adventures.

Klaire was my son's teacher for over a year. I have just stumbled on her posting. I wish she was available when we need a sitter during the weekdays. Seeing her on this website is the only reason I signed up. I figured if people like Klaire post maybe I can find someone great. She is amazing,and very gifted with children. You would be beyond lucky to have her! -Ana Brown
