A little bit about me

I am a freshman at Salve Regina, studying psychology. I am planning to work as a child therapist after university and graduate school. I absolutely adore working with children. I have experience volunteering with kids for the past 4 years. When I am home, I volunteer at the elementary school where my mom teaches kindergarten. I often volunteer in her classroom, and in the summer, I volunteered as a teacher's assistant with incoming kindergarteners who needed extra education. During my senior year of high school, I also volunteered at Pinkham Notch for a week, helping teach and guide 5th graders as we hiked through the mountains.

A little bit about me

Born and raised in New England, currently, living on the Seacoast in New Hampshire.
Married, kids are all grown.
I love the warm weather, i am an avid reader, enjoy music, movies, and staying in good shape.
I've been caring for children for twenty plus years. Having had my own licensed childcare facility and eventually transitioning into a private Nanny/ Household Manager!
I simply enjoy spending time with kids! I believe in treating them with the same respect that I expect for myself.
I am a "doer" , and I believe creating fun adventures, along with constantly learning, is the way to ensure that you give the child the best chance for growth and development.
Something as simple as reading a book together, creating art, or baking
a cake... These are just some of the things that help create great memories!

A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a marketing professional looking for nights and weekend babysitting opportunities. During my time as a babysitter and nanny in college and graduate school, I truly enjoyed the hands-on, meaningful experiences of caring for kids—something I miss compared to my current desk job.

With a background in psychology, creative writing, and teaching, I’m well-equipped to support children’s growth and development. I hold an advanced degree in creative writing, have taught various age groups, and tutored students up to the college level. I’ve also completed substitute teacher training and am certified in CPR and first aid (though my certifications are due for renewal).

I’m a strong believer in offering screen-free experiences & strive to provide engaging, hands-on activities that help children learn through play and exploration. If you’re looking for a reliable, engaged sitter who values creativity, I’d love to connect!
