  About Me
 
My name is Kassandra and I am an energetic 22 year old with a passion for working with children and seeing them develop. I have over 9 years of experience working with kids(babysitting, nannying, working in a nursery, and assistant teaching at my practicum at a preschool). I have worked with children ages newborn to 12 years old and have ran a classroom setting before and planned many activities and crafts and stories and songs for children. I am CPR and First Aid certified in infant and toddler and child. I have attended different children conferences and am finishing my degree in Child Development.

I am currently one fall 2013 semester away from having my degree complete. I am moving with my fiance and soon-to-be husband as of May 25, 2013 to Akron, OH for him to attend graduate school there for two years or longer if he gets hired full time. I am looking for a full time nanny position 5 days a week and sometimes on occasion weekends.

With me you can be assured your child will be not only taken care of very well but also stimulated developmentally and encouraged to learn and play. I studied a lot on developmentally appropriate practice in school and working with children on taking what they know and are interested in and expanding it and encouraging them to learn. I love playing with children as well as I have learned they learn by doing and through their play. I would plan activities for your children as well as be willing to take them places drop them off and also take them places for fun and learning. I have references and my own transportation and love pets and can work with families with multiples and also with several kids. Coming from a family of 8 and being the oldest nothing really overwhelms me :).

My fiance and I enjoy reading, and being outside and watching sports together. I also like to knit and workout and take dance classes when I am not with friends or family or working with children. I am looking forward to meeting the right family and investing in your children.
