Hello, I'm Marley, I'm 23 years old, and I'm looking for a summer nannying position to connect and develop work experience. I went to university at West Chester (PA) for Early Childhood Development and Education, Special Education, and Psychology. I have teaching experience, am CPR certified, and I am up to date with all current health and safety regulations for this year. I love working with children; being able to connect with families and better my knowledge of child development. I am creative, energetic, and reliable- I like to plan activities and crafts when babysitting, but I am also able to help with school and homework. I have a car and am comfortable driving for errands or activities with a parent/guardian's approval. I am also willing to help with basic housework- cleaning, laundry, dishes, maintaining the child's play area, etc.

I am a current student, working towards a career in the mental health field. I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being someone they can feel comfortable, safe, and happy around. I love getting to know their personalities, playing games, doing activities, and watching them learn and grow. I also understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, so I always strive to be dependable, patient, attentive, and caring. It’s so rewarding to know that I can make a child’s day a little more fun while giving parents peace of mind when they’re away.

I am currently in my last year of college. I have 10 years of experience outside of family, 6 years of paid childcare experience and have also cared for younger relatives since I was 15.

In high school I attended a technical school for Early Childhood Education. I graduated top of my class. I then went onto my associate’s degree in early childhood education, and I am now working on finishing my bachelors degree! My work experience has varied from running pre-k and toddler classrooms as lead teacher to nannying privately for families. I have worked with children from birth to early teens. I currently nanny for a wonderful family that has two kids. I have been with them for over two years and am sad to be leaving them, but my husband’s job is requiring us to move from Delaware to New Jersey! Working with children is my passion. I couldn’t pick a better job to do! I have background clearances and am CPR certified. I have wonderful references as well!
