A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lucy and I have 5 years of child care experience. I began working as a Swim Instructor for my local YMCA. My 5 years as a caring and successful swim instructor led to me being promoted to Advanced Swim Instructor at my second YMCA. I have experience with baby classes where we sing and expose babies to the water with help from parents. I have experience with preschool lessons with kids ages 3-6 where we learn to be safe while enjoying our time in the water. I have experience with school-aged kids where we learn the strokes while gaining endurance.

I was also a Youth Swim Coach where I worked closely with a group of 11-12 year olds. I enjoyed fostering appropriate relationships with my swimmers while coaching them in the sport.

I am looking to get out of the pool and gain experience in nannying. I have reliable transportation, weekend-only availability, and would love to chat!

If I seem like a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to reach out.

A little bit about me

I'm Angie, 26 years old, my experience as a nanny and caregiver has been very enriching over the years. I have five years of invaluable experience caring for children of various ages, from babies to teenagers. I also spent a year as an au pair, which allowed me to further develop my skills in childcare.
In addition to my nanny work, I am a teacher in my home country and have worked as an assistant in a daycare, which has helped me develop skills in managing small groups, promoting educational activities, and attending to children's emotional needs in an integrated way.
In summary, my experience in childcare is built on a combination of love, patience, creativity, and responsibility, which has allowed me to create safe and stimulating environments for the children I work with.
