I have been a nanny and babysat children throughout most of high school and college. I have 10 years of paid experience! I have a BS in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health. I have babysat and nannied for many special needs children and teens. I have also worked with children with profound food allergies, deafness, Autism, Down syndrome, and Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita. I can sign and will gladly teach children who are not hearing impaired if you wish! I also have infant care experience and experience working with triplets and twins. I love children of all ages and enjoy their energy and simple enthusiasm for life. I love spending time outside in the rain or shine! I enjoy playing games, swimming and doing arts and crafts. Art is very important to me and I love to show children how to express themselves through sketching, sculpting with clay, or painting. Also, I understand how busy most parents can be, and sometimes even with the best of intentions, housework can sometimes begin to fall a bit behind. I never had a problem doing some cleaning and a few loads of laundry. I love to cook foreign dishes, and I also love to bake. I am mostly looking for a full-time/part-time job as a live-out nanny to a mature family- meaning mom and dad have steady jobs, and are not heading out the door to go hang out at the local bar at 11:30 a.m. I love working for secure families, people who truly love their children and are just trying to provide the best life possible for their little ones. I hope to hear from you soon! A few more things: * I much prefer working nanny jobs with a nanny contract. I have a few pre-made contracts that we can potentially use as a template. * I love large families; the more kids the merrier! * I love working for home-school families! I have worked for a couple of homeschooling families in the past and they were truly amazing! * I do not work for stay-at-home dads-once in a while if dad is sick or has errands, then of course, no problem! * Ask for my references. They are excellent!

Hello and thanks for viewing my profile! I absolutely adore children and always have. My experience with babysitting consists of newborns to roughly 13 years old. Currently pursuing a nursing degree, I’m concentrating on psychiatric and rehabilitation because I’m curious about the mind but also passionate about health & wellness. In my free time, I spend time with my animals or love to decorate houses in the Sims. I am BLS certified for adults and children, as well as dogs and cats. I became certified to administer medication appropriately in 2021 and also took a CNA course. I have reliable transportation. Please send me a message if you think I would fit well with your family. Thanks! <3 Ps. Not vaccinated for Covid, don’t mind wearing a mask.

I have been taking care of kids since I was a kid myself. I was actually an only child and always wanted a little sibling to care for lol but nonetheless, my mom had friends with younger kids and would offer to babysit which turned in to me babysitting them. In high school, I would babysit but it was not paid which is why I can’t claim any years paid. It was all volunteered as I would help babysit foster children. I helped watch children as young as an infant (1 week old at the time) to 13 years old. I also participated in a teaching scholarship program in undergrad that was an enriching experience as well as volunteered in elementary classrooms and worked as a substitute teacher prior to moving. Taking care of children is a huge passion of mine, and I hope to work with this population after becoming a Licensed MFT. I am currently attending UF’s MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) program so my availability depends on my class schedule. I was also CPR and First Aid certified for 6 years (I have renewed it twice) and just lost my certifications as they expired two weeks ago! I will be renewing them shortly :)
