Derissa R. Nanny in West Orange, NJ 07052.

My name is Derissa and I am a recent graduate of Drew University. I doubled majored in Biology and German.  I was born and raised in Vienna, Austria and lived there for 12 years before moving to America in 2001. My parents are from the Caribbean: my mother is from Trinidad and Tobago, and my father is a dual national of the United Kingdom (UK) and St. Lucia. My Mom is an elementary school teacher and my Dad is a Political Affairs Officer at The United Nations Headquarters in New York. In 2007, graduated from high school at the United Nations International School in New York. I have been caring for young children for a number of years. I first started baby-sitting for a family friend and then expanded my service to the general public. In the summer of 2005 and 2006, I worked as a camp counselor at the United Nations International School (UNIS). I worked at the Renaissance Church in Summit, New Jersey, regularly caring for the children of a women's bible study and support group. My non-childcare experience includes seven months as a bank teller with the PNC Bank branch in Madison, New Jersey. I am now an Intern at the World Youth Alliance (WYA). WYA is a non governmental organization that promotes the dignity of the human person in developed and developing countries, through the United Nations. 
I love to work with children as I would like to pursue a medical career in pediatrics. I also have a  very keen interest in the educational aspects of child development which I acquired through my mother who holds a graduate degree in Education specializing in Child Development.
I am a fluent speaker of German which I learned in Kindergarten in Austria and as a result, I have native-speaker proficiency in the language.  English is, of course, my mother tongue.
