Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies.

If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option.

Having worked as an education researcher at a STEM boarding school for exceptional high school students, I have had the unique opportunity to work with, advise, and coach students outside the classroom to achieve success, both academically and personally, as we partner together to prepare for college. I leveraged many valuable skills when I transitioned to working with younger children. I enjoy working with children of all ages where I use my skills and their interests to spark a love for learning. Before the pandemic shutdown, primarily lead taught the pre-k class and periodically helping in the 1-2 year old class. I am a creative and enjoy using crafts, interactive imaginative play, movement, and cooking to teach little ones. I believe these types of activities are rich for learning, building social and communication skills, strengthening fine and gross motor skills, increasing confidence as well as fostering community responsibility. I have a Bachelors degree in Behavioral Biology (PreMed) where I have taken courses in child psychology, abnormal psychology, maternal and child health, and child nutrition. I have also completed a Masters degree in Sociology, a fellowship in Education Policy, and successfully completed all certification classes and trainings to work in a licensed daycare in two state.
