Hello! I've been babysitting & nannying since I was a pre-teen and have nearly 2 decades of experience with all ages from infant to nearly adult, as well as special needs. I'm certified in CPR; my background is healthcare and a wide variety of disabilities and special needs. I would describe my style as hands-on. I love to interact with kids whether that's playing a game, reading a book, or dancing. I meet the kid where they are at developmentally and form activities for us to do together. One of my favorite parts of babysitting is forming that relationship with a family and watching the kids grow.
