My husband and I are in the process of moving from Waukesha to the south-eastern side of Brookfield. We should be settled by mid January. We just welcomed our first son this past July. We couldn't be happier! We are looking for a family that is open to bringing their child to our home for care. I have a lot of experience with infants including when I was a nanny for two infants at the same time. :) I loved it! Their moms were cousins and they were about 6 weeks apart. I cared for them from 7:30-4pm every day while I attended graduate school in the evening. Here is my blurb on my profile that tells you a little more about my experience with children: I have a graduate degree in School Counseling and have worked in both the daycare setting as well as in-home care as a nanny for Read more multiple families with children ranging from 6-weeks through 9-years old. The last family I was a nanny for (up until right before my son was born) had two children- a 3-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl. I cared for them full-time from 8-530 p.m., Monday-Friday. I was in charge of transportation to and from school (half-day kindergarten) as well as meals. We did a number of activities during the week including playing at the YMCA, swim lessons, crafts, trips to the park, play dates at play centers and just making up games at the house. The previous families I was a nanny for had the infants I mentioned above. I watched the boys together, they were 4-months old and 7-months old and I cared for them Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. -4:00 p.m. I was in charge of developmental play, all feedings and maintaining their sleep schedule. Prior to that position I was a nanny for 2. 5 years for boy/girl twins while I attended school for my undergraduate degree in Kenosha. I was in charge of transporting the kids to different events, creating fun activities and crafts, lunch and on occasion dinner. I also have an educational background in working with children. I am a graduate school of UW-M for my Master's degree in School Counseling as well as UW-Parkside with my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Thanks for taking the time to read my bio, I hope to hear from you!
