About Merritt

I am an experienced nanny and childcare provider with a B. S. in Psychology and a Minor in Child Development, as well as holding a CPR & First Aid certification. I am skilled in supporting the cognitive, emotional, and social needs that are necessary for the development of a healthy and thriving child, and I have experience working with children and teens of all ages. I pride myself in being able to create safe, engaging environments for kids to learn about themselves and the world through patience and play. In addition to working as a babysitter and a live-out nanny, I've worked in preschool and elementary classroom environments, I've worked as a private second language tutor in Argentina, and I've worked as a camp counselor. Through working in educational and mental health focused roles with children, I've strengthened my abilities to remain calm, attentive, warm, focused, and communicative in all situations.
