Hello, my name is Gypsy - but I go by Faye! I am a warm, self motivated young women hoping to better our world through compassion and creativity. I love working with infants and toddlers because it gives me the opportunity to truly grow with the children, and to support them in their most vital times for loving and learning. My approach with kids is to simply create and maintain a positive, peaceful, yet playful, environment where they can learn and be themselves! I incorporate and encourage all forms of creative expression, and enjoy offering myself to the exploration of each day. The sense of fulfillment I get from connecting with families is a huge gift, and I find myself incredibly grateful to be a part of helping to foster a loving environment for children. I am well versed in all areas of home management, and feel comfortable and confident Read more in keeping up with pretty much any task you could throw at me. However, throwing things is generally discouraged. On top of my 5 years of housekeeping experience and 7 years of nannying - I am also a performance artist, birth assistant, and I spend much of my spare time researching psychology, biking and doing yoga. I have recently finished a temporary position with a beautiful 9 month old boy - and I am feeling ready to dive into nurturing another new life, and connecting with a new family, as soon as Wednesday 11/15. Thank you, Gypsy 'Faye' Dylan

Gypsy goes by Faye, she was able to come help us out on short notice. She was great. She responded to my call right away, asked important information. She was on time, changed diapers, made lunch and cleaned up everything afterwards, washed and put away the dishes they used. My husband was working from home and they were also quiet, which is impressive for a 2 and 4 year old (especially mine!). She also took the kids to the library. They kids were happy, and calm when I got home and had a long list of things they had fun doing that day. Very happy.
