(Will be relocating to Hunterdon County in February) Most people would consider me to be a warm, gentle, outgoing individual with a great sense of humor. If you are looking for a dedicated and compassionate nanny or babysitter with experience in caring for special needs children, I'm your girl! My personal background allows me to have a significant positive impact for you and your children. I am highly skilled in interacting with children of all ages. I'm most passionate about watching children learn and grow when given the opportunity. I'm 27 years old and have nannied for a family with 3 boys since I was 16. A now 22 year old with ADHD, a 21 year old on the autism spectrum, and a 10 year old sweetheart, whom I have cared for since infancy. I've essentially grown up with them and as they've grown, my duties with them have evolved. Read more As you can imagine they could be a handful, but I definitely give them credit for my charm with kids. The key to my success is patience and I have more than enough to go around. My ability in childcare is pretty extensive as I am well versed in bathing, dressing, changing diapers, meal preparation, feeding and keeping the children entertained. Never a dull moment with me! Furthermore, I am an aspiring Veterinary Technician and I'm CPR certified. Overall, I believe my bubbly personality is what sets me apart from other candidates and allows me to shine.
