Hello! I am a VCU graduate with a BS in psychology and am now a current student in VCU's doctoral occupational therapy program. I began babysitting when I was 12 years old and continued babysitting throughout high school and college. I have experience with children on the Autism Spectrum. I have cared for children ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years old. Additionally, I am BLS certified which includes infant CPR/First Aid training as well as infant/adolescent choking training. My past nannying responsibilities have consisted of preparing meals, tidying up (dishes, laundry, general tidying up), occupying and watching the kids, help with homework and crafts, occasional pet care (big animal lover), and bedtime. I believe in patience and positive redirection! I love kids and I would love to work with them one day as an occupational therapist. I'm available from the end of May until the end of Read more July 2020. Looking forward to helping out!
