A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Yana and I am 34 years old. I have worked as an assistant kindergarten teacher for three years at a Montessori school and did the after school babysitting, drop off, and art tutoring for one of my students. I also have several years experience babysitting toddlers, infants, and children from ages 3 months to 10 years old. I was caring for twin boys and their infant sister for one year and a half. Altogether, I've worked for more than 6 families. I went to Fontbonne University, Bachelor in Fine Arts, Painting and Sculpture (graduated in 2015) and Midwest Institute (graduated in 2017) to be a dental assistant and worked at a dental office for more than 2 years. I am fluent in both English and Russian. I would like to be a live-in nanny and my availability is open at this moment. Please feel free to contact me and thank you for your time!
