A little bit about me

The Fit:
Looking for a long-term, position with a family who is looking for a college-educated, experienced, energetic, creative, and reliable caregiver. After spending the last two years in finance, I have decided to return to my deep roots as a musician and pursue a career as a songwriter and composer. I realized it would not be possible to work 60-hour weeks in the finance world and simultaneously pursue a meaningful career as a musician, so I am looking for a ~25 hour-a-week position that would be enjoyable, utilize my skills/experiences, and allow me sufficient time-off to write. I love kids and have tons of experience as a babysitter and au pair, so for me it would be ideal to work either mornings or afternoons/evenings with a family, and then have the other half of the day to devote to my music at home.

Experience/Background:
I have 12 years of paid childcare experience with infants to 9-year-olds. I am most experienced with 5-9-year-olds.

In addition to my experience as a babysitter, I also spent a total of three summers and one fall as an au pair in Spain (Madrid and Barcelona) and Germany (Munich).

Fun Fact:
I am the oldest of 4 children.

Style:
I prefer to be active/energetic/creative, and my references can tell you that I would usually prefer making up imaginative games than being in front of a screen.

Special skills:
Tutoring piano (classically trained since age 4, have perfect pitch), tutoring elementary Spanish (majored in Latin American Studies in college), helping with writing homework, choreographing dances (I danced ballet since age three), cooking (I especially like to cook italian food), making up fun spy games, running around (I ran track and played soccer in high school), singing, and making up fun songs.

Given this information, do you think we would be a suitable match?
I look forward to hearing from you, and will happily provide references and additional information upon request.

A little bit about me

My extensive experience as a child caregiver began during my high school and college years when I cared for my nephews and niece, and has solidified over time with my role as a teacher, mother, and nanny in three paid positions in NYC. This experience, along with my teaching background, has provided me with effective tools to not only create a safe and positive environment for children, but also facilitate developmentally appropriate educational activities. Additionally, I have taught them to speak Spanish fluently, and assisted with homework and preparation of NY Standardized Tests. I am also computer savvy and certified in First Aid and CPR. As my resume shows, I have over eight years of experience as a nanny with three families in NYC. Letters of recommendation speak to my nurturing, professional and respectful way of caring for children.

Thanks to my calm and easygoing character, I work well with other members of household staff or as a nanny/household assistant with one child or two children ranging from infant to school age. For me, there is nothing more rewarding and uplifting than being in the company of children, and tending to all their needs while making their safety the first priority is a job I deeply enjoy.
