A little bit about me
I was a professional nanny for six years, caring for children from infancy through grade school. I still keep in touch with several of the families I’ve worked with, which speaks to the strong, trusting relationships I build. I believe in a balance of enrichment and fun, creating engaging activities that support learning, creativity, and confidence. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on maintaining a safe, structured, and positive environment for every child in my care. I’m currently looking for families who need a dependable and caring babysitter.

A little bit about me
I am a current masters student studying Library and Information Science, with previous education in History, Poetry, and Visual Arts. I have over ten years of babysitting experience, as well as experience teaching poetry and writing to young children. I would be so excited to engage your kids creatively in developmentally appropriate art and writing activities. In my free time, I crochet, sew, and make quilts---all crafts I would be happy to share! I am originally from the east coast, and would love to keep exploring SF through more youthful eyes. I am a responsible and thoughtful person who invests deeply in the time I spend with kids---I think it's so important to take them seriously as little individuals, and really get to know them. In my future career, I plan to work in local history museums; interfacing meaningfully with children is an invaluable part of that work. Eventually, I hope to pursue a PhD focused on 19th century women's history in the USA.
