I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

As a former director of a Montessori elementary school and school social worker in training, I bring a thorough knowledge of child development to my role as a nanny. Overseeing a Montessori academy with children ranging from two months old to eight years old, I was responsible for classroom deescalation, filling in as lead teacher where needed, and maintaining a stimulating and enjoyable learning environment. One of my core beliefs is that children deserve to feel valued and respected. I will always kneel down to meet a child where they are at to reaffirm that I value what they have to say. Incorporating my training of various pedagogies and love for learning, we will develop skills like reading, math, and science with play, art, and experiments. In my most recent nanny role, I acted as a teacher and caregiver creating weekly lesson plans, setting academic milestones to meet, and adapting my teaching style to the needs expressed by the children. In addition to my experience as a school director, nanny, and teacher, I am also a Junior in my school social work program. My pursuit in becoming a school social worker allows me to recognize a child’s needs even if not expressed verbally. This pursuit also strengthens my ability to care for children with special needs. It is important to me that your child/children know they are respected, safe, and valued at all times. It is also important they have fun! As an artist and outdoor enthusiast myself, we will always have a new craft we are working on, science experiments to try, and adventures to go on. I am also CPR certified with formal training in early childhood education, human development, and art therapy. I am leaving my role in college admissions to return to nannying because it will allow me to continue my educational pursuits. I also truly miss all of the fun that comes with spending time with little ones as we help them learn how to navigate life. I am so excited to hear from you!
