A little bit about me

My name is Miranda Wood and I hope to be your new nanny! I'm a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville, 22 years old, a psych major, and someone who considers herself as a big hearted person. From the age of 15 I have had a love for caring for children and assisting them on growing happy and healthy. I started out as a babysitter for family friends after completing a babysitting course and continued on as a tumbling instructor for children with disabilities. In college I have kept regular babysitting jobs, as well as worked as a Youth Mentor through the YMCA where I guided 15+ children (ages 5-12) through daily afterschool life. This included keeping them safe, teaching them social skills, helping with arts and crafts, guiding group games (and getting into them myself), homework help, and helping with any other need a child showed. Within my last semester of college I took on an internship position with a child crisis center for ages 7-17 called Trinity Place. There I learned the importance of staying dependable in a child's life, as these kids rarely had stable environments.
Throughout all of this, I have also been a life-long cheerleader and artist. I started cheering at the age of five and continued through college and have been more than thankful for the lessons this sport has taught me. I attribute my can-do attitude and my team skills to cheering, as well as the ability to think fast and problem solve. As for being an artist, I started art classes in elementary school and use this hobby as a way to be expressive and ultimately have fun. I would love to be able to share these passions with the children I get to make connections with!
Overall, I have a lot of attention, care, and heart to give to the right family. If possible, I would like more than just a job. I would like to become friends and family with the parents and child who give me the chance. I am more than willing to relocate, and learn very fast when given direction.
