Dear Family, I'm a reliable and energetic Nanny with 9+ years of family support services currently offering babysitting on evenings/weekends. My Bachelor's degree in Psychology has given me substantial knowledge of age specific development and has helped me in my professional hands-on work experience which includes infants (also newborn twins) to teenagers. I grew up in Germany and Spain and thus am trilingual in English, Spanish and German and I can read and write in French. I'm motivated to enhance and engage children regarding daily schedules, meal preparations, school and recreational activities as well as infant care from changing diapers, to bottle preparation and swaddling all while managing a busy household. I listen carefully and follow directions well, fostering trusting and dependable relationships with parents and children and allowing for growth and advancements in education, exploration and emotional capabilities. I consistently encourage and engage creative and physical attributes and adept Read more at providing an organized and comfortable environment at all times. My work experience includes: - teachers aid in special needs school (2 years) - Au-Pair (cultural exchange program, live-in) in West Orange, NJ with 2 boys ages 9 and 12 at that time (1.5 years) - temporary Nanny/Personal Assistant in Frankfurt, Germany with 3 children between the ages of 5 and 11 (1 year) - live-in Nanny in West New York, NJ with 3 children all under the age of 5 including an infant (4 years) - full-time live-out nanny for infant boy/girl twins (3 years) As well as several other part-time positions with children of all ages, including children with special needs/conditions (learning disabilities, speech delay, hearing loss, down syndrome, autism, ADHD), as well as homework assistance and tutoring. My resume and reference letters are available upon request. I'm looking forward to hear from you. Thank you, Sara
