Hello! I have experience caring for children in multiple capacities; most recently working as a nanny for one family for the past 3 years! The children were 5 and 8 when I began and 8 and 11 this summer when I transitioned out of the role. Additionally I have been nanny for little girl from 18 months to 2.5 yrs, as well as have other babysitting babysitting for children ranging from around 15 months to 7 years, as well as a non-verbal autistic 9 year old boy who required special care. Additionally I have worked with children in educational capacities as a camp counselor and tutor, as well as a year as a classroom assistant and English teacher to children 1st-5th grades (ages 6-11) in public schools in France. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Anthropology from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. I absolutely adore working with Read more children believe truly in the importance of being warm and patient allowing them engage with the world as they naturally want too with enough firm guidance to keep them safe, of course. I love to read stories, sing songs, or do fun, active things with children and I believe genuine play in some of the most important learning a child can do, but I also have plenty of experience with tutoring, helping with schoolwork, and engaging kids in educational games and activities as well. I find that of course they love it too! From diverse work experience, I've gained a true sense of professionalism and am courteous, dependable, organized and highly value good communication. I am open and flexible to accommodating the specific needs of your family including helping with meals or cleaning/tidying and other housework, transportation, pick-ups/drop-offs, etc! I look forward to hearing from you!
