Experience: 10 yrs
I am organized, tidy, and patient. I like working with kids because they are imaginative, silly, observant, and joyful. I'm looking for a job that allows me to utilize and leverage my knowledge while supporting other families and my own. I started working with kids when I was a teen, teaching swim lessons for the parks and rec department and babysitting. I then went on to nanny and work at summer camps during college. With my degree, I worked several years at an art museum in the education department. I worked from home in nonprofit management for 10 years and know the struggle of balaning career with available childcare. I've shifted gears to focus on family. I understand that finding dependable quality care for young children is a daunting task and entrusting someone to care for your child while you go to work can be very difficult and filled with many emotions. I look forward to providing quality care for your family and bringing balance and ease to your life as well.
She took care of my preschool aged kiddo and was amazing. He always looked forward to days he could go to her house.
