Hello! I am a single mom, Army veteran, small business owner and licensed school teacher in the state of CT seeking to work with a local family in the Wallingford area. I have 9 years of nannying experience (prior to becoming a mother). I worked, long term, for 3 different families providing infant care, as well as before and after school care for as many as 4 children at once. In 2008 I graduated from CCSU with my teaching degree and I have maintained my license ever since. I taught middle school for 2 years in Meriden before starting my own business providing legal assistance to fellow veterans seeking benefits through the VA. Additionally, I am the proud mother of a 9 year old, 5th grade boy who is the light of my life. I have chosen to continue self-employment, rather than return to the classroom, so that I can Read more be involved in his school, activities, and daily routine. I have experience with children as young as infants and as old as 8th grade, and everything in between. I have experience with children having ADHD, mood disorders, learning disorders, and colic. I am first aid and CPR trained. I have a service dog (from the elite ECAD training facility that was provided by the VA) that travels with me to most places, who also doubles as a facility dog - participating in children's learn-to-read programs as well as visiting nursing homes and children's hospitals. I am available to provide before and after school care for children in the MYB/ RH district of Wallingford. I am also available for occasional evening and weekend care. I look forward to meeting with any family potentially interested in having a local, "mature," caring, responsible, and qualified caregiver work with their children.
