  About Me
 
I just turned 30 in May, so I am excited about this new decade of my life. I have an extensive background in child development and caring and watching children of all ages. I am a professional, but also love to laugh, smile and learn everyday. I worked as a first grade teacher assistant for almost 5 years. I have had many long-term babysitting jobs since I was a teenager. I am currently a nanny for a wonderful little boy who will be 2 this month. I have been with him since he was 10 months old. I have loved watching his many milestones this past year and a half.

I have a younger brother who lives about 2 hours from me. My mom and dad both live near me. They are divorced and have been since I was about 13 years old.

Some of my likes include, Traveling, Scrapbooking, Carolina Basketball, Photography, Reading, painting, researching child development theories & methods, writing, biking, tennis, swimming, music, fashion, spending time with family and friends.

I am looking for a great nanny job/oppurtunity. I would like to find a position where I am able to utilize all of my skills and abilities that I have acquired over the years. I am dependable, responsible and genuine. I have a heart of gold and have a passion for life and most of all for kids. It makes my heart so happy to see the looks on kid's faces when they learn a new skill. I have learned that they end up teaching us more than we teach them.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
5 years experience, 4 references
I have had experience with kids of all ages, ranging in age from newborn to teenage years in all different settings. I have cared for multiples and been a mother's helper to help with bottle feeding, tummy time, changing diapers, and just being a extra pair of hands when she needed some help.

I have worked with adolescents in summer camp settings for 4 summers when I was in college. For the past 5 years, I was a first grade teacher assistant at an elementary school. I have held many long term babysitting jobs starting when I was 15 years old. I am currently a nanny for a wonderful almost 2 year old boy. I have been with him since he was about 10 months old. It has been such a pleasure to watch him grow, go through so many milestones. I have been a mother's helper, errand runner, light housekeeping, diaper changer, teacher, bottle feeder, tummy time.

I have also worked with many families as a part time nanny throughout college and after college. I was a nanny to older kids and a few younger children, mostly toddler aged.
