Hi, my name is Merrill. I'm currently a graduate student at NYU getting my Master's in Occupational Therapy. I have a passion for working with children and it is my long-term goal to become a pediatric OT. I'm an attentive, compassionate and energetic caretaker with over 10 years of experience. I've spent every summer and the years between college and grad school as a full-time nanny, and have ample experience in pediatric healthcare settings working with children of all abilities. I pride myself in my ability to engage with children and come up with fun activities even on the rainiest of days. Organization and cleanliness are strengths of mine and the families I've worked for in the past have greatly appreciated the way I take initiative, keep everything in-order and assist with all organizational tasks around their homes. Cooking is another hobby of mine and I enjoy preparing healthy snacks Read more and meals for everyone to enjoy. In both my personal life and role as a caretaker, I use my creativity and energetic attitude to be productive, proactive and fun-loving! I am CPR/First Aid certified and can provide you with a long list of references.
