Hello! I am a doctor going into my gap year, preparing for my board exam for residency. I am going for a psychiatry residency, and would love to pursue a fellowship in pediatric or adolescent care. Not only do I have medical knowledge, but I value both physical and mental health for not just the children that I am taking care of, but also the parents of the family. I believe that environment is all encompassing, and it is very important that it is safe and fun for everybody. I believe that communication needs to be open. I value, honesty and transparency as well. It is really important that you feel comfortable leaving your children in someone else hands. I am very responsible and very easy to get along with. I am kind to children and I know how to enforce rules without being too controlling with kids, where they Read more learn to respect me as well as somebody that they can trust and rely on. I have extensive experience nannying for multiple different family types: adolescents, teenagers, single child homes, homes, with five children, divorced families with shared custody, nannying, and overnights days, meal, prepping and house, cleaning, and maintenance of chores, educational, work and teaching with at home tutoring, sports, practice, and coaching with my history as a semi professional athlete, arts and crafts, as a professional artist, music etc. I value learning and trying and failing and getting up again, and I think it’s very important for children to learn that failure is okay and encouragement goes a long way. I practice positive reinforcement. I enjoy baby sitting and I enjoy being around kids. I have always been a team leader in sports and I can adapt to different situations very well! I am open for all hours and really looking forward to baby sitting for you! Please ask if you have any other questions! I am also available for transportation and am up for any type of baby sitting necessary. No matter what, your kids will be in good hands with me and hopefully you will want to work with me again!
