A little bit about me

Hi! Im Gia! I’m currently a third year student at UConn. I’m looking for a part time nanny/babysitter position to start around August/September 2024.
(Schedule is very flexible just lmk what you need!)

I have experience with children of all ages ranging from infancy to adolescence. I have worked at a pre-school as a pier-diem teacher since I was 16, as well as a summer camp counselor/unit director at the YMCA for three summers now. I can also provide references from prior families I’ve babysat for, as well as fingerprints, backround check, etc. I’ve always worked very well with children and feel that I am more than capable of providing a safe, fun, and respectful environment for your child/children.

A little bit about me

📚 I have several years of experience as a childcare teacher, where I specialized in creating and implementing age-appropriate curriculums that focus on developmental milestones, creativity, and learning through play.

🩺 Most recently, I earned my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license and have been working in a memory care unit, which has strengthened my compassion, patience, and ability to remain calm under pressure. My healthcare training adds another layer of safety and responsibility to the care I provide.

✨ I’m looking for a family that values open communication, mutual respect, and a warm, welcoming environment. Nannying is my dream job—one that allows me to become part of another family’s life while supporting my own children as a dedicated single mother.

🔹 Reliable transportation
