Brittany G.

Hello!  I am looking for part- or full-time work as a babysitter, nanny, and/or tutor in the northern Virginia area.  
My experiences as a tutor, babysitter, nanny, and substitute teacher (over the past ten years) all contribute to my understanding of and patience with children of all ages.  My life's philosophy, which carries over into the way I work, is simple:  treat people (of all ages) fairly and with respect; show kindness and empathy at all times, "for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."  I am comfortable and experienced in watching children/students of all ages and backgrounds.  As a lover of both indoor and outdoor activities, I can adjust to almost any lifestyle and will ensure that your child or children will be engaged during their time with me.
 
Other personal information:
-no pet allergies or allergies of any kind; lover/owner of both cats and dogs
-can drive and transport chlidren (clean driving record)
-currently learning Spanish; can speak conversational French
-BA in English and Philosophy from George Mason University (class of 2010); MRes (Master of Research) in Educational and Social Research from the Institute of Education, University of London (class of 2012)
 
I have also worked with students and children with varying physical, emotional, and mental needs, providing a fun, safe, and calming environment in which they are able to learn and grow.  I would welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family to see if we are a good fit for one another.  You may contact me via email or my cell phone any time.  I look forward to hearing from you!
