Hello! I am a high school math and special education teacher and I adore my high schoolers but I miss working with kids! I’ve worked a mix of part-time and full-time jobs as a nanny or sitter over the past ten years. I’ve worked with kids of all ages from newborns to middle schoolers! I love trying new things and I LOVE seeing kids get excited about their world (which is why I’m a teacher!). I’d love to find a family who is looking for an occasional sitter during the school year and more regular work in the summer. I genuinely love my work but would like to supplement my income as well!
