I am an experienced as a professional sitter, nanny, tutor, and caregiver with over 17 years experience. Graduate education completed in STEM, specifically developmental neuroscience. I greatly enjoy working with children, developing, games, play, art, and reading starting in infancy. I enjoy cleaning and cooking, especially science based healthy meals. In the middle child of 12 siblings, I have been caring for my siblings; nieces and nephews my whole life. I started as a babysitter as a preteen for neighbors and continued on as a nanny throughout college and graduate school. Helping care for, nurture, and educate the next generation is the most rewarding work of my life. *Activities that may be relevant to your child are: STEM – math, home experiments (chemistry, physics, biology, neuroscience), food science, astronomy (celestial and planet identification).
