I worked at a Post Office for 8 years and as a pharmacy technician for over 10 years. I have 5 grandchildren 7 months, 2, 4,5 and 6 years I am a very active grandmother. I previously worked as a nanny for a family in Marlborough, where I took care of a 2 year old and 5 year. I was with this family for over 3 years. My days with the children were always busy, and extremely fun. I planned activities for each day. We did arts and crafts projects, play board games, took nature walks, played outdoor games, and somedays read books and sing and dance. Many times I drove the children to and from school and to libraries for storytime, I am looking for about 8 hrs a week.

Currently attending UConn with a major in nutrition, looking for a babysitting or nannying job while I’m home for winter break! I am CPR and First Aid certified and have worked as a camp counselor for the past two summers. In addition to this, I have two elementary school age cousins, and briefly worked as a babysitter for a 4 month old. While I only have a few years of experience, I’m capable of keeping kids under control and ensuring the environment is safe, but what I love most is creating connections with kids one on one. I have a car, I’m capable of cooking small meals, I’m very patient, attentive, creative, and I have experience with kids with special needs.
