A little bit about me
I'm a 25 year old woman who enjoys finding new ways to teach children about how to have fun, exploring the world and challenging them so they can see how much they can really achieve!
I've been babysitting since 2019 and have worked as an assistant teacher in the Twos class for over a year with some Infant knowledge as well. I am CPR/First aid certified and know how to potty train! I am very excited to hear from you lovely families. Thank you! -Crystal 😊

A little bit about me
I am a registered nurse who is currently looking for a part time nanny position. I have experience working with the pediatric population in a hospital setting and can provide safe care for your children. I have always been passionate about working with children. In high school I worked at a Lifetime Fitness center in the kids academy for 2 years. In that role, I got promoted from team member to an instructor and taught classes like explosive science, cheer clinics, arts and crafts, and more. For 3 years I was a part of the Big Brother Big Sister program in my community where I mentored young students. I also traveled to both Brazil and Thailand to teach English in orphanages and schools. I grew up with a little sister 6 years younger than me and was thrown into the babysitter role quite early in my life. I have great experience and my bubbly, outgoing personality makes hanging out with children an enjoyable and fun experience for everyone involved.

A little bit about me
Since my sister was born 11 years ago, I've been a prolific babysitter not only with her, but with several other kids from all backgrounds including special needs, instilling positive values and experiences. Beyond babysitting, I have rich experience teaching and tutoring subjects from 1st grade through college & I have earned an RBT certification through my time working with kids diagnosed with autism. That means I have clinical experience running trials and adapting to the unique needs of those differently abled, and that I can provide a high level of care to your young one that is above and beyond the norm. I look forward to working with you to ensure the highest level of care for your child
