Hi there! I am a mother to a wonderful, 11 year old daughter. I went to college for Child Development and Social Work, where I spent time working in Michigan. Since caring for children has been my passion since I was a little girl, I am now working towards a degree in Psychology that I intend on using it o further my careers working with children. I worked for the state of Michigan doing CPS work and caring for children in the system, before moving to New York. Before that I was a nanny for 7+ years caring for multiple families over that time , with children of multiple ages and needs. One My most previous position was with a family of 5 children, one with special needs. My most recent employment with a family was caring an infant until his family was blessed with about baby and mother decided Read more to stay home with both children. So now I'm just excited to find the next family to be able to help and nature with their children! I am EXTREMELY when it comes to availability so not everything it shows in my profile is extremely accurate. I am also flexible when it comes to pay and base my rates on each individual families needs and the type of job. I babysat, tutored, embrace house work, school help and anything else to help families! We are team, after all! I have been trained to teach children of all ages, but also know that each child is different , but all children need fun and love to thrive. I enjoy working with families that believe a care giver is part of the family and enjoy working together to help the children prosper and grow to the best of their abilities. I will care for your children as if they are my own. Parents must be a good much for each other as well as the caregiver being a great match for the children. I hope to hear from you soon and helpfully we can be the best team people for our future adults. That's why I love this job. I believe Creating healthy (emotionally, physically and emotionally) children is what creates thriving and success adults and I love being able to be a part of that process. 985-4229913. I look forward to hearing from you. Send a text if I couldn't answer and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
