A little bit about me

Looking for a summer Nanny/Sitter position until August 9th. I work for the city schools and will be returning to work. I would like to connect with a family long term to provide summer care when the kids are out of school. I am reliable, & trustworthy. Proactive & energetic. Play & sensory based approach style to care. I am looking to join a family in the short term, perhaps long term if the right fit. I love doing activities w/ children including baking, outdoor play, and arts/crafts. I am child centered, so learning about & applying their needs & interests is important to me. I am an all inclusive provider, & want the family to be at ease w/ me. So I’d be happy to do anything from laundry to light housekeeping & meal preparation. I have a special passion for infants and toddlers. But I enjoy older children as well. Experience with high functioning autism. If you are looking for a Nanny who is devoted and truly passionate about Nanny care, please contact me.
