I used to go to babysit with my sister when I was little. As soon as I was old enough I started going on my own. I have worked in a variety of settings including positions as a live-in nanny, mother's helper, working at a home daycare, summer camps, daycare centers, schools, dance studio, library, ski resort, and water park. I have worked with children ages 6 weeks old all the way up to 12th graders. Most of my experience is with children ages 6 weeks to 8 years of age. Roles include live-in nanny, camp counselor, babysitter, teacher, life guard, ski instructor, and much more. The experiences and dates are too numerous to list here. Specifics available on request.

Hey! I just moved to New York City about two weeks ago! I just graduated from Savannah College of Art & Design with a BFA in Furniture Design. I am currently looking to fill my schedule with full-time work. As far as experience... I grew up around all boys between my brothers and cousins. I did babysitting for my cousins in all stages of their lives, from helping my aunt in their earliest years, to hanging out with them as pre-teens, as well as doing all kinds of cleaning and picking up after them in-between. I was a lifeguard for one summer in high school. I was a YMCA Camp High Harbour counselor for two summers. While I was there, I was a counselor for the youngest girls, as well as older co-ed groups of kids. Between those two years, I lifeguarded, cleaned, led activities, put kids to bed, rock-climbed, rafted, rappelled, drove boats, jumped off cliffs (in an organized, safe environment), helped prepare meals, led bible studies, met parents, played games, swam, kayaked, made crafts, had conversations, and seriously had the time of my life. I was a student mentor my last year of high school. I was a Young Life Leader for a quarter in college. I volunteered with Special Education kids in my high school, and it was the absolute best part of my day. I would take my lunch into their classroom and eat with them. They were the most severely disabled kids in my school, and something about them brought my heart so much joy. I learned more from them my last two years of high school than I probably did in the classroom. They were wonderful. Still to this day, being around anyone of any age with a disability, no matter how mild or severe, is one of my favorite things to do and be a part of. I am comfortable with dogs, as I have grown up with dogs throughout my updringing; mostly labs and golden retrievers. I also learned French in high school, and understand the basics.

I have 6 years of experience babysitting/nannying. I was an Au Pair for two different families in the USA from 2009 to 2012 and I am a nanny from 2013 to present. I am responsible, trustful, and committed person. I love arts and crafts, play outdoors, and engage the children in different kinds of activities.

I have worked with kids since I was a teenager as my mom, who is a teacher, owned a kindergartnen school in Brazil. Besides having taken care of my younger cousins, workek as an english teacher for ages from 7 to 26 and being an au apair in America for almost one year now.
