As an experienced professional with a robust background in child development and education, coupled with strong leadership and program management skills, I am well-equipped to excel as an in-home nanny for your family. With a BS in Human Development with a focus on Child and Family Life and Special Education from BU Wheelock College, my academic foundation is solid. My tenure as the Director of Community Programs honed my ability to oversee diverse programs effectively, managing substantial budgets and EEC licensed programs. Additionally, my experience as a Center Director at Cambridge Youth Programs demonstrates my capability to create and maintain safe, nurturing environments for children of various ages, overseeing staff, managing budgets, and ensuring regulatory compliance. I have first hand experience with children and have moved to training staff on best practices in youth development. Moreover, my background as a Paraprofessional in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Inclusion Facilitator underscores my Read more hands-on experience in providing individualized support to children with diverse needs, fostering their growth and development. With certifications in CPR/First Aid/AED and Crisis Prevention Intervention, along with my proficiency in technological tools and EEC licensed programming, I bring a comprehensive skill set to ensure the well-being and holistic development of the children under my care. My passion for continuous learning, evident through my participation in various training programs and interests in trauma impact, behavior, and education, further enriches my ability to tailor care and activities to meet each child's unique needs from infancy to adulthood. In addition to my professional pursuits, my personal interests in energy healing, meditation, and Zumba reflect my commitment to holistic well-being, fostering a nurturing and positive environment for children to thrive. I feel it is also important to note I have raised my own two children and can relate to the day to day experience of motherhood. I am currently looking to make a life change from my career as a Director overseeing programs back to the nurturing aspect or being a care provider in homes directly working with families and infants, that brings me so much joy. With a blend of expertise, compassion, and dedication, I am confident in my ability to be a valuable addition to your family as a trusted and nurturing in-home nanny.
