Please excuse the long paragraph; Sittercity clumps everything together! ––––––––– I am a graduate sculpture major, violinist and runner, and am enthusiastic about working with children. They keep it real, and I am always inspired and learn just as much from them as I hope they do me. The joy, laughter, and awe from taking care of children is something I value deeply in my life –– it grounds the woman that I am. –––––––––– I have worked as an artist, educator, and caregiver since high school. I have 10 years of experience as a nanny, 15+ years with older children as a tutor, and pride myself on being engaged and creative with kids as well as responsible and patient. –––––––––– Each child is different, and I defer to the parents or primary caregivers in how they want to discipline and teach their children. I am a creative, with a Read more huge propensity for organized play, imagination, and outdoor fun. –––––––––– I am originally from the Midwest and moved to LA two years ago. I enjoy dancing, reading, fashion, and being present. I am clean and organized, and bring my habits to any household I enter into. –––––––––– The following is just some of my experience working with children: I was a part-time nanny to a family of four in Baltimore, and before that, a full time nanny for three years to another dear family, taking care of their daughter, Stella, starting when she was 4 months old. I also have experience with older children - I was a violin tutor all through high school, as well as a camp counselor. –––––––––– *****There seems to be some delay in posting my reviews / references - I am happy to send you screenshots of reviews on Care.com from three references. You can also find my profile on Care.com under the same name.****** –––––––––– My full resume is available and my response time is quick – I look forward to speaking with you!
