I love working with children. I have six younger cousins I've been babysitting since I was 13 years old. Over the years I have worked with wonderful families and have loved caring, teaching, and playing with children from infants to 16 years old. I have a passion for teaching and the ocean. For the past four years I have been an educator and naturalist. Currently I work in the Education Department at the New England Aquarium and am able to combine both of these passions while also inspiring children to love the ocean and care for our planet. At the aquarium one of my specialties is teaching a class for 2-3 year old ocean lovers called Sea Squirts. Being able to interact and see how much fun my students have learning about the ocean is one of my most rewarding aspects of my job. I am caring, intuitive, responsible, hard working, creative, loving, patient, and have a wonderful repport with children.

I have 4 brothers and sisters between the ages of 2.5 years to 9 years and have had a huge role in caring for them. My grandmother ran a daycare in our home while I was growing up Because of this I have an abundant knowledge of creative activities for children of all ages. Many of the children my grandmother cared for became long time clients of mine. •I have been babysitting/mothers' helping/nannying since I was 12 (10 years experience). I also have twin experience on multiple circumstances. I have working part time with a family in the Back Bay for the last two years but am looking for other work due to a difference in scheduling. They will provide one of my references. I have been CPR certified although am not currently up to date (must retake test every year). I am willing to retake the test if you require it of me. •Plenty of infant experience as well as a solid knowledge of preparing/cleaning breast milk, formula and equipment and feeding techniques. •Plenty of toddler experience as well as potty-training experience.

I was an Au Pair in 2010 where I lived in Swampscott and I took care of three children 2,4 and 6 years old. I also took care of twin girls of age 3 years old for about 3 months. I did some babysitting job for two families with baby girls about 1 year old.

My older sister has an almost 3 year old daughter, since she was pregnant I was there for her support and when my niece was born that was the best day of my life and since that day I cared for her as if she was my own daughter, I have helped in the growth, education and development of her, she is 2 in a half now. I was working in London caring after 2 children,one which was 2 years old and the other 2 months, I was there for six months, which later I returned to mexico because I had to finish my studies to get my college degree, I maintained the cleanliness of the kids, I took them to the playground and when it was time to eat I cooked for them. I came to Boston last year where I was working in Brookline, MA. caring for a 5 month old child, Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays and sometimes on Saturdays if the parents wanted to have a night out. I cooked, cleaned, housecleaned, and ran errands for them. the family later moved to New York in late March early April. They can also be a great reference.

I graduated from from college with a business degree. After working in management, I realized I needed to forego my career path and pursue my passion: children! I had experience as a lifeguard, camp counselor, babysitter, and swim coach, so it was an obvious choice for me. I became a full-time nanny for a family of 3 in Indianapolis, Indiana for a year before I moved to Denver, Colorado. In Denver, I joined a multi-family nanny share that I helped grow into many children. I have extensive experience with ages newborn - preteen. I am CPR certified and am happy to run errands and help out around the house as well.
