Hello, I’m a highly educated graduate of Virginia Tech University and have recently retired from an extremely successful & fulfilling IT Sales career. I have more than 10 years of experience babysitting and being a Nanny to my 6 grandchildren. I have experience babysitting older children and even twins when I was younger. I am well-versed in taking this next step of making it my new part-time career! I am open to both Babysitting & Nanny roles and extremely excited to learn about your family and how I can "make a difference" in your children’s lives, as they certainly will in mine. I have completed the steps to gain a background check and will send the results to you upon request. I am taking my CPR + First Aid certifications this week and have extensive experience with children ages infant - 10 years. I'm skilled in snack & meal prep, Read more homework, diaper changes, sleep strategies, light housework, dog sitting, etc. I drive a “VERY safe & dependable” automobile and am typically “very neat and organized”. I assure you that you will NOT come home to a messy house. I enjoy getting creative with activities, whether it be crafting, playing games, taking fun walks, or a great game of hide & seek! I will always be very organized with tracking school homework & projects. I'm patient and kind and absolutely love building connections with children as well as teens. I'm excited to combine my love for children & creativity in a part-time Babysitter or Nanny role. My goal will be to make sure your children have a very safe and loving environment whenever I am with them. Let’s create wonderful childhood memories “together”. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! (I am available Monday – Friday 9 am – 3 pm and some weekends) KK
