Experience: 10 yrs
I'm thrilled to share I've been working with children for the past 20 years in a range of settings, starting with babysitting and continuing through roles focused on child development and care. I studied psychology at Pitt, where I worked in an early childhood development research lab, and later became a behavioral therapist supporting children on the autism spectrum. Most recently, I spent five years nannying for a family with two boys and helped care for their newborn. I'm experienced with all ages, from providing a nurturing and attentive environment for infants to encouraging creativity and independence in older children. I love creating fun, engaging days filled with learning and imagination. I'm fluent in American Sign Language and would love to teach your child if interested! I enjoy arts and crafts, Legos, exploring outdoors, finding geocaches, and creating scavenger hunts. I also love storytelling, wordplay, and making up silly games that keep kids laughing!
Lucy cared for my two sons for several years when they were between the ages of 2-9. She is amazing! Lucy is incredibly patient and kind, so creative and fun. She taught my kids sign language and so many fun games. Lucy encouraged and supported their ideas and interests, made play a big part of their time together, and made learning fun. She was also willing to drive and take my kids to different places around the city, and kept our house clean and tidy. I'm not joking when I say I cried when our time together was done - she's the best!
