Hello, my name is Carolyn. I have worked providing child care for children ages newborn to teenagers and have private academic tutored elementary to college students in person and virtual over the past 20 years. I am a caregiver by nature. I grew up on a small farm in New England where I cared for many animals, plants and my younger siblings. I am a Mother myself of 2 children. I raised my son and daughter who are now both in College. I was their Primary caregiver and was involved in every aspect of their care. I worked in the Medical field for several years. I am up to date vaccinated with Pfizer Covid. I have CPR/AED/First-Aid certification I have a lot of experience caring for children during times of illness and/or disabilities. For example, I have given nebulizers with a home vaporizer for children with asthma and infants with Read more “croup.” I have experience in all aspects of infant care from feeding, diaper changes, baths, soothing comfort techniques for naps or teething, colic etc, and interactive teaching with music, art, stroller walks and play. I have experience in keeping infants and toddlers safe. I am an excellent driver. I have my NYS drivers license, my 2017 Ford Escape with active car insurance, registration and up to date service and inspection. As part of my prior Nanny jobs, I pick up and drop off children of all ages from school and other extracurricular activities. When needed, I accompany the kids on various excursions: Park, Library, play dates including pool supervision as I swim well, the Mall etc I am College educated and supervise and tutor kids with their homework. During the Pandemic, I home schooled via virtual learning 2 boys in Elementary and Middle school for a year and a half. Both kids had/have ADD and ADHD learning disabilities. The past 5 years, I cared for the above 2 boys, who were ages 6 and 7 years old when I started and now are 11 and 12 years old. I have cared for 4 families: infants, toddlers and children over 20 year span. I enjoy caring for and teaching children developmental milestones. I am kind, responsible, nurturing and I have both creative and logical problem solving skills. I am a good cook and communicator. Thank you
