I am currently a nanny for 2 year old boy/girl twins and a 4 year old with special needs. My recent for an agency was as a Behavior Interventionist, mainly in the area of Applied Behavior Analysis, with children at risk or diagnosed with Autism, in the age range of 3-6. In my position I was in charge of structuring the 6 hour school day where I taught the children communication, language, academics, and self-help tasks, all the while reinforcing positive behavior, extinguishing inappropriate ones, and ensuring a happy and safe environment! I have experience with infants, toddlers, twins, special needs, and children 2 to 22. I have been a full time and part time nanny for several families. I have worked in many different settings with many different types of families over the last 20 years. In these homes I have been a simple occasional babysitter, an overnight/over weekend babysitter, or a full/part time nanny. My duties in these homes included diaper changes, potty training, baths, nap time, bed time, meal preparation – even with special diets (GFCF and allergies), playing and educating, swimming, organizing activities for the day, taking children to and from school or activities/play dates, home work, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, home organization, pet sitting, packing and unpacking for moves and vacations, and many more day to day activities that help a household running as smoothly as possible.

As the eldest of three children, I always felt responsible for my younger brothers. I started watching them for short periods of time and soon expanded to babysitting for neighbors. By age 13, I watched two children, age 7 and 9 after school every week day and also had three other families of three or more children, infant to 11 years old for whom I regularly babysat. In addition to babysitting, I worked as a swim instructor and lifeguard for four years, teaching children from age 2 to 14. I also worked as a lifeguard and wrangler. As a camp lifeguard, when not on duty at the pool, I assisted the counselors with group activities. As a wrangler, I led trail rides of up to 30, including adults, and taught dry lessons to younger, age 5-7. From 2004-2009, I intermittently volunteered as a side walker helping children with a multitude of disabilities gain physical control and confidence through riding and learning about horses. Since March of 2010, I have been working at in Downtown Disney, where I interact with children of all ages every day. In October of 2010, I started at the Disneyland Resort, where I facilitate guest performing groups, age 5 and up. All of my experience adds up to over ten years of rewarding experiences working with children of all ages.
