H! A little bit about me, I am a wife of 25 years to my husband and a Mom of two young adult daughters. I have worked for over 20 plus years as a school counselor (I was at my most recent school for 15 years which was early childhood through 8th grade.) I have also worked in the field of social work/social welfare, behavior specialist, mobile therapist, and family crisis counseling. I have an bachelor's degree from the University of Delaware in Sociology/Social Welfare, a master's degree from Eastern University in School Counseling, and I am a certified parenting coach from the Jai Institute for Parenting. I am also a part-time parent coach with a private therapy practice. I have cared for many children over the years as a babysitter from a preteen to nannying in college. Additionally, I have worked with countless kids of all ages through my Read more work in schools and within the community. Last but not least, I am a Mom to my two daughters. One just graduated from college and the other is a Sophomore in college. Last summer I updated all of my clearances, took an online infant and child CPR course and was certified. I have the Covid vaccinations, and all other vaccines, including the most recent flu shot. I have lots of other qualifications that go beyond nannying and I would be happy to share those if you are interested. I can also provide professional and personal references if requested. I absolutely adore babies and children of all ages. I have dedicated my adult life to coming alongside and supporting families and kids. I am kind, loving, flexible, attentive, relationally focused, cautious (but not overly), flexible, punctual, and dependable. I love to cook and am happy to do basic chores related to your kids or helping your life as a busy parent be a little bit easier and less stressful. My approach with children is one of connection and gentleness with age appropriate boundaries and expectationsMy desire is for kids to be able to have fun and learn at the same time. I love to read, play, go for walks, cook with kids, make fun projects, go on adventures, etc. I also have a pool and am comfortable around water. I hope to meet your family soon to see if we might be a good fit!
