A little bit about me

As of 12/19/21 I am searching for a full time longterm childcare position. I have been babysitting / Nannying for over 25 years. I love kids, love animals, and love the outdoors. I have experience with kids of all ages from infants to 13 years old. I also have experience caring for twin boys. I love babysitting because there is something about spending time with children that keeps me sane. I have a background in Environmental Science so I love teaching little ones about nature and I find it important that children spend valuable time outdoors. Walking on nature trails, going to the park, going to the beach, going to the library or play groups are all things I like doing with children. Every moment is a teaching moment when I am with children.

A little bit about me

I am a young, spirited, and nature-loving woman in the Northampton area with plenty of nanny experience. Currently, I work as a garden educator through SNAP-ED, running garden programs within elementary and preschools. I am working to get my early childhood education certification! My free time is spent cooking, sewing, crafting, and enjoying the outdoors. I adore watching kids learn about the world and would be more than happy to incorporate playful education as a nanny. Most of my attitude and experience has been successful with toddlers, but I am trained for infants and older kids as well.
