Hello! My name is Christy and I am an upbeat, fun, caring and polite 22 year old from Ohio. I previosuly had a position as an assistant pre-school teacher at my local YMCA and also worked in their day care center as well as lifeguarding. With the time just being "right" to move on, I left that position. I found that although I love children, my passion is more with individual families. Being able to form individual relationships with children brings such a joy that I was not able to fulfill while working with a larger group of chilren. I have over 9 years of babysitting experience and can provide plenty of references from many different families. Recently, I nannied for an infant (5 mo.), staying overnight and caring for the baby until the mother and father came home later in the day. I love children of all ages, though-I am definitely that fun nanny that will be on the floor playing with your child! Each age group definitely has it's own set of fun characteristics. Generally, I am an all around people person. I am CPR and first aide certified, and I also have my lifeguarding certificate (I am an excilllent swimmer). I am looking for a family that I would fit in well with and a place where I could call home for a few months up to a year. Experiencing a different culture(s) would be an absolute plus! I am very much looking forward to getting to know you and your family!
