I have been working as a nanny, ABA technician, and/or special education teacher for over 15 years - and have enjoyed every minute of it! Additionally, I hold a bachelor's and master's degree in psychology, a MEd in special education (specializing in adapted curriculum) and am now returning to school for my doctorate in clinical psychology. I have always been passionate about working with children, especially those with special needs or disabilities. As a teacher, I have seen firsthand the difference that even small amounts of one-on-one attention can make in a child's life — it is truly amazing to witness. This sparked my move into becoming a nanny and providing individualized care for each of my families. I believe that my enthusiasm for working with children, coupled with my experience and understanding of childcare, make me an excellent nanny. I know the importance of establishing and maintaining a consistent Read more and reliable relationship between parents and children; I'm here to provide quality care while allowing everyone's individual needs to be met.
