Hello! I am a childcare professional with a background in early education, and I am looking for full or part time work. I have worked as a full time nanny with two families, in both cases starting when their sons were 4 months old and continuing until they were 2. I have also had ongoing after school positions with older children, 9 - 13 years old, some with special needs. I have worked with all age groups, and have extensive history with children with special needs. My references are excellent. I was an associate teacher at a Manhattan preschool for 3 years, working with 2 year old, 3 year old and pre-K classes. The school was based on the Reggio Emelia model, and I love coming up with age appropriate activities based on children't interests. I am a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, where I worked at the Early Childhood Read more Center (the on campus preschool). I studied various philosophies of child care and education, and am very flexible. I am happy to work with children on homework or work as a tutor. I am especially experienced with reading development and comprehension. I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, and have no allergies. I love pets! I also have a valid driver's license and a good driving record. I hope I may be a good match for your family's needs!

Brooke was a caring, conscientious sitter who sought to develop a strong bond with our son. She has a background in education and was able to use these skills to help with motivation and academics. In addition she was very flexible and was always happy to take our son to museums and craft stores in order to provide enrichment. We were very pleased with her service to our family.
