Hi, I'm Betsy. I have been working with young children for over 35 years as a teacher and a babysitter. My most recent position was a nanny for a family for 5 years. I started when the 5 year old was 2 months. After about two years, the twins arrived! I was responsible for caring for a three year old and twin infants up until the children were 5 and 3. The children all went off to school this fall and I miss them dearly. I also miss having rewarding experiences with young children. Caring for and engaging with children is the most fulfilling experience to me. I was an integrated preschool teacher for over 15 years. I also spent 10 years as an ABA therapist and 1:1 aide working with children on the autism spectrum. I have led classes for parents focusing on early childhood development. I am certified Read more in infant and child CPR and First Aid. I have my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and my Master’s degree in severe special education. I have a daughter who is 25 and my son is 21. Being a mom myself, I will be providing the nurturing care you are expecting for your children. The connection between parent and caregiver is based on trust, communication and comfort level and that's what you will find with me. I will be sure your children are happy, that they feel safe and are constantly learning through play, when they are in my care. I always bring age appropriate songs, books and activities with me! Along with playing and being active with your child, I’ll always be teaching them new age appropriate things skills through our play! I love creating new experiences and projects that are fun and exciting for them to learn from. I look forward to hearing from you!
