I am an fun and nurturing (and vaccinated!) caregiver with 17 years of childcare experience looking for occasional babysitting opportunities. I've worked in many capacities, as a church nursery worker, an occasional regular babysitter, camp counselor, gymnastics coach, and as a full-time nanny for children ages 6 weeks to 14 years. My style is "have fun, show love, and instill confidence"—I believe that fostering a child's self-esteem and belief in their self is of the utmost importance. Reading with children is one of my favorite activities (ask me about my dissertation on family shared reading!), along with trips to the park, coming up with fun age-appropriate crafts, and helping kids gain confidence in the kitchen (to an age-appropriate degree). I work in publishing (from home) but have missed spending time with kids and learning from their bright and inquisitive minds, so I'd love the opportunity to meet your family and Read more see if we'd be a good fit!
