The only reason I was not able to have my sitter city badge is from my driving record - I have one minor speeding ticket from 2018! I am happy to share my results - there is nothing else on my record! Hi there, my name is Christina! I’d love to introduce myself and share a bit about my nanny philosophy to see if we could be a good match! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a specialization in Early Childhood Development, with nine years of experience as a nanny and eight years as a household manager. My expertise spans from caring for children as young as 3 months to those as old as 15 years. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified, including infant certification! With my extensive amount of nanny experience and a solid academic foundation in childhood development, I'm well-prepared to provide age-appropriate enrichment Read more and ensure that all developmental needs are met. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to nurturing children to reach those important developmental milestones. As a devoted nanny, I create custom lesson plans and engaging activities, always aiming for your child to have a blast while learning. I am not here to be a passive observer while your child plays, but rather an active participant in their enrichment, ensuring they have a memorable time! My mission is to serve as a positive role model for your child, enhancing their life with adventures and educational experiences rather than excessive screen time. I firmly believe in the value of outdoor play and nurturing their creativity, and prioritize these over electronic devices. My philosophy revolves around positive reinforcement and gentle parenting, where I believe in guiding children with a combination of patience and firmness. I seek to help your child understand why their behavior may be inappropriate, rather than demanding obedience without explanation. I recognize the immense potential your child possesses and treat these remarkable young individuals with the utmost respect they deserve.
