Hello Sittercity Parents! My name is Maggie and I am so thrilled that you are reading my profile. Currently I am a Graduate student studying Child, Family, and School Psychology at the University of Denver. I am seeking a regular after school nanny/babysitter position for the remainder of the school year and hopefully beyond. Originally from Chicago, I just moved to Denver and am so excited to get to know a new city. Last year I worked in an elementary school as a Special Education Classroom Assistant and spent the year before teaching English in Thailand to 4-8 year olds! It was an incredible experience of culture, education, and beauty! I graduated from DePaul University with my BA in Psychology and French. Through my past experiences and schooling as a Psychology student, I have come to know the importance of proper child care and understand the fragile developmental process of Read more children. Before going to Thailand, I worked as a one-to-one aide for a Kindergarten boy with special needs. As a nanny/babysitter I have experience with 18 months -12 years old. As a summer camp counselor I had an amazing experience working with children with many different types of cognitive, physical, and emotional disabilities. As you can tell, I have a myriad of diverse child care experience that has shaped me into an energetic, reliable, empathetic, and patient caregiver. My past responsibilities with nanny positions have included homework help, transportation to/from school and extracurriculars, nap and bedtime routines, meal preparation, laundry and other household tasks, grocery shopping, giving medicine, potty training and perhaps a few other things! I am trained in many conflict resolution and behavior modification techniques, therapeutic holds, CPR AED and First Aid certified, and possess a driver's license with a clean record. A background check and referrals are possible upon request. I enjoy traveling, animals, running, music, cooking, reading, yoga, and being outside as much as possible!
