Meet Carolyn
- Comfortable with pets
Hello! My name is Carolyn, and my goal is to assist in making your household run as smoothly, safely, and comfortably as possible. I currently hold a B. A. in Psychology and Exercise Science, and have completed 4 semesters at Northwestern University's Physical Therapy Program-with an emphasis in child development present during each portion of my schooling. My child care experience includes time as a swimming instructor for children ages 1-13, as well as 4 years of experience as a nanny in both single and multiple children households. I also worked for 3 years as a maid for a small, family owned hotel, providing ample experience in household maintenance and organization. Through my above work and educational experiences, I've developed a child care approach which centers around developmentally appropriate play/interaction, encouragement, redirection, tons of reading, music, physical activity, and, above all, patience and warmth. Please do not hesitate to reach Read more out with any further questions or concerns. I am more than happy to provide references, a current background check, and proof of CPR/First Aid completion. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos! Warmly, Carolyn
