I am graduate student with a BS in human development from Virginia Tech and a MS in school psychology from Radford University. I am currently working on my Education Specialist degree and interning in public schools. While in school I have filled a variety of childcare roles. I have been an occasional sitter and long-term nanny caring for children with ages ranging from four months to twelve years, including those with special needs. Other positions I have held working with children include subbing as an instructional aid in schools and two years of internship through the 4-H. In the past I have held CPR, first aid, and lifeguard certification. I enjoy reading, sports, baking, jigsaw puzzles, and any outdoor activity. I believe the combination of my education, experience, and love for working with children makes me an ideal babysitter or nanny for any family.
