Hello! I am a very friendly and creative nanny with 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I hold a BA in Childhood/Special Education, and am CPR/First Aid Certified. I love spending my time with children: playing games, creating art projects, reading & HW help, outings & adventures etc. and am comfortable with bedtime routines when applicable. I am currently the Assistant Director for an Out-of-School Time program in CT, as well as a part time nanny! Prior to this I spent nearly a decade at a local community center where I worked with babies through teenagers in various roles, such as running summer camps and toddler and school-age programming. I also started a Jr. Campers Program (for toddlers) at a camp in CT! While I facilitated all aspects of care and education, I focused on literacy and social-emotional development. I served in AmeriCorps for 2 years post college, and have even cared for and taught English to children abroad!

I am a mom of 4 amazing grown children and grandmother of 7 awesome grandchildren. I have always loved children and have been watching or taking care of other children for 35 years. It seems that there are always family members or friends whose children I have taken care of. The last babysitting job I got on this site (10 years ago) has come to an end as she is a grown girl at boarding school now. I am currently looking for a part time position. I am especially good with infants and babies. I have taken CPR classes and first aid classes in the past but would take a refresher course if required. I love to read to children, I enjoy sparking the imagination and laughing with them. I also believe that kindness to each other is something we learn and that there is no such thing as too much love. There may be rules to follow but love is always present. I do have references from the families I worked for. I can provide their email addresses or phone numbers but I have no one that has continued on this site. I have been working for two families during the 10 year period. Thank you
