Hello! I genuinely enjoy being around children and helping them flourish in a safe, enriching environment. My babysitting duties include play & enrichment time, going to the park/being outdoors, preparing meals/bottles, tidying up the house, doing laundry, and having fun! A little about myself, I have 20 years of experience working with children/youth from infancy through teenage years. My experience includes babysitting, nannying, and employment at a preschool. I also have experience working with children who have specific dietary needs. In terms of experience, I worked at a preschool as a floater teacher, which meant that I spent time in all classrooms - infant through preschool. I also led a summer camp program for school-aged children, at the same preschool. In regards to nannying, I was a nanny for two boys, an 8 month old and 2 1/2 year old. In that role, I prepared bottles, provided consistency for nap Read more and meals, and provided enrichment activities. I have a Master's Degree is Social Work, and I currently work for a local social service agency. However, I am considering a career change which may include doing online school. In addition to my experience, I have training in conscious discipline and first aid/CPR.
