I am currently a special needs nanny. I am an experienced short-term/as-needed babysitter (date night, errands, etc) - I started with watching kids in my neighborhood or church at age 13 (I'm 34 now), I also used to help with kids at church for several years. I am willing to do chores (organizing, laundry, cooking, cleaning) and any homework help. I love helping children learn daily living skills. I love to read with children, teach children about cooking, play with dolls and other toys (blocks) to model social-emotional skills and creativity, play outside in the spring, fall and winter, and play pretend. My experience with infants (children under 2 years old) is very limited but I'm open to learning more. I have 2 current babysitting and nannying references. I have a bachelor's from UW in psychology, and am currently co-employed as a behavior technician at a children's behavioral health clinic Read more (eating disorders, PTSD, anxiety and autism). I have a driver's license but I am a newer driver (first permit in 2023, I did take professional lessons and have insurance, a booster seat, and am ticket and accident free). I also have a side business for home organizing and/or decluttering and have reference(s) for this service. I am willing to do chores and other household management duties.
