Hear me out... I don't have any past "certifications" but I am a recently graduated high schooler who just turned 19 who is looking to help you and your family however I can. It is hard to explain because I have never been a nanny or a regular babysitter, but through out my entire life so far I have worked and cared for children of all ages, races, identities, and personalities. And through out those learning experiences, I have indeed come to understand the concerns that come with hiring strangers off of the internet, but I can assure you, I only have good intentions to create healthy relationships with you and your children, as I know everyone is going through a rough patch with everything going on in the world right now. Not only have I helped out at a camp for a few summers for kids with autism/or not, Read more my mom is an adoption attorney, so there have been many children that have come through my home that I have had the privilege to help care for before they went off to their own home. I was very well rounded in terms of core classes and electives in high school, for I was in college level classes, French, Band, Varsity choir, the theater programs (so I guess you could say, I was a theater nerd). Therefore, I understand the importance of kids being kids and exploring the world of art and imagination. I have always had the ability to connect with younger kids, more so than with people my own age, so I am here to help you and your children however I can.
