About Natalie

I've loved to be surrounded by children and caring for them for years now. I am the oldest grandchild in my family so, it started with taking care of my siblings and cousins. I grew up taking care of my siblings since they were newborns, while my mother worked. I've nannied and babysat for many family friends. I was also a lifeguard for 2 years which entailed teaching swim lesson as well as watching kids that were unattended by adults. I had my CPR/First Aid certification that has now expired, but I'm willing to get re-certified if necessary. I also have background in teaching dance lessons to children. I completely understand Spanish and can speak it, however I'm just not completely fluent. I can teach basic Spanish. Along with care-taking, I can clean and cook. I am familiar with children that have lactose/gluten-free restrictions and can cook accordingly. I don't believe in yelling at children, communication is key in my book.
