A little bit about me

I nannied for a number of families in Rochester while working on my undergrad and graduate work. I've been teaching for the last 14 years, and would love to get back into part time nannying. I have much more availability and flexibility in the summers, but even during the school year I'm available at 3:30pm and weekends, and holidays. I absolutely love working with kids, of any ages, and love to have fun, be creative, silly, flexible, I try to integrate educational experiences whenever possible. I'm hard working, trustworthy and would love to see if I might be what your family is looking for. :-) Thank you for your time!
