A little bit about me

I just moved to Commack, NY and am looking for a long term Nanny position. I have over 6 years experience as a live-in nanny and 12 years experience as a live-out nanny/babysitter. The bonds and relationships I created with those kids and families still remain today, once a week I still teach poetry lessons to the oldest child, I love that I still play a role in her everyday life.
Kids are my passion. I prefer playing outside to screen time but with the pandemic I understand that may not always be simple; baking projects, story time and blanket forts are always a good substitute.
I was a competitive swimmer for 16 years, I use those skills to teach kids how to swim and be safe and competent in the water. I am not currently CPR and First Aid certified but between life guarding and being the Assistant Aquatics Director for Hampshire Regional YMCA, I held those certifications for 10 yrs.
