Hello! I am a young professional living in the Alexandria area. I received my Bachelors Degree in Psychology from VCU in 2020. I currently work full -time at a financial institution. I am available weekdays after 3PM and weekends. I have an extensive history working with children from infantry to high school teenagers. I have experience working date nights, after school schedules, and full-time summer days nannying. I’ve supervised play dates, over nights, and been responsible for carpooling kids from school to extracurricular activities. At one point, I shadowed for a Psychologist in an ABA styled center; so I have learned the appropriate skills for working with children on the spectrum. Additionally, I have a large family with lots of nieces and nephews, so I feel very comfortable interacting with children. I am up-to-date on all vaccinations, including a booster against COVID-19. I feel comfortable wearing a mask for prolonged Read more periods of time and am capable of following individual household protocols.
