I've been woking in childcare for over 2o years, starting as a babysitter in middle school. In that time, I've spent hundreds of hours with children of all ages, including infants, twins and triplets, and kids through adolescents, as well as children with wildly varying nuerotypes.
I love reading, swimming, gymnastics (watching-not doing!), my cats, and spending time in classrooms. I share all these things with "my kiddos" and sometimes come to their classrooms or on their field trips. With both a BA and an MA in early childhood education as well a year of student teaching and a year of lead teaching in Pre-k, I have plenty of experience in the classroom as well as out of it.
I also teach Our Whole Lives, a comprehensive sex ed program, and my decade plus of training and teaching has given me a unique ability to respond with open, compassionate, age appropriate honesty to a variety of developmentally appropriate questions about all sorts of heady topics. Kids really appreciate this steadiness in responding to their myriad questions. I ran a youth group for several years and know how to take 25 teenagers camping.
I work best with families who are looking for a true partner in parenting and have a sense of humor about the inherent ridiculousness of children.. I will love your child fiercely and care for them with love and compassion. I'm not perfect--I don't do housekeeping beyond basic kid clean up, for example--but in 2 decades of nannying I have seen very few people who are as committed to the children they care for as I am. It is something I take great pride and joy in. I look forward to beginning a partnership with you.
