Hi there,
I am Lisa, and I have been a babysitter/nanny for over eight years. I have watched newborns up through 15 years of age, and I have several years of experience as a full-time nanny (50+ hours per week).
I have a B. A. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish from Oakland University, and this fall I will begin my Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University (Irvine campus). My ultimate goal...
Hi there,
I am Lisa, and I have been a babysitter/nanny for over eight years. I have watched newborns up through 15 years of age, and I have several years of experience as a full-time nanny (50+ hours per week).
I have a B. A. in Psychology with a minor in Spanish from Oakland University, and this fall I will begin my Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University (Irvine campus). My ultimate goal is to receive my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology and become a child psychologist.
I am very active with the children I care for. I keep them engaged in activities that will aid in their cognitive development, as well as keep them physically healthy. I am not a nanny that simply sits them in front of the TV and allows them to watch themselves. Several activities I enjoy doing with the kids I have watched are tennis, bike riding, ice skating, bowling, reading, coloring, crafts, baking and decorating cookies, Spanish lessons, rollerblading, going to the park, playing cards, laser tag, etc.
This isn't a job I am just doing for the money. I truly enjoy working with kids, teaching them, and learning from them. I like to have fun with the kids but I am also able to be a disciplinarian when needed. My typical method is to use timeouts while being firm, but not raising my voice. I do, however, favor using positive reinforcement over negative consequences. I will gladly take on any methods currently in place by your family.
In the fall, I have evening classes beginning at 7:15 two nights per week. I am looking for a regularly scheduled, part-time nanny position (20-35 hours per week) during the daytime and early evening hours. I am also open to occasional weekend sitting on an as-needed basis. If I sound like I might be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to send me an email!
