Introduction
I babysat all summer, every summer starting at age 11 for kids of various ages and personalities, but who all at some point told me I was the most fun babysitter they’d ever had… probably because I’m still young at heart myself and can be pretty silly with kids. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked as a camp counselor for underprivileged kids, volunteered as a Sunday School teacher at my church, taught English and SAT prep in Guatemala City, and am currently nannying for a wonderful family with two boys in California, so I have quite a bit of experience with kids and genuinely love them! But perhaps the bulk of my experience and what led me to want to become a nanny, was when, in college, after staying in the dorms my first year, I spent the next two living at the house of my best friend, who had 6 younger siblings. Every day when I’d get home after track practice, I’d play outside with them--walking to the park and teaching them how to play tennis, exploring the trails by the creek, playing touch football in the backyard, building a “wigwam” in the woods, or inventing new games altogether. I helped them make presents for Mother’s Day, settled arguments, told bedtime stories, helped with homework, and cheered them on at sporting events. Looking back, I was basically functioning as an nanny, only without being paid, yet I felt like I was the one getting the better end of the deal!
I also love grocery shopping, nutrition, and trying out new recipes, so I would be more than happy to take or share in the cooking responsibilities in your household. Also, I’m more than happy to help with homework.
I studied Spanish in college and spent time living in the Dominican Republic and Guatemala, so finding a family where my language skills wouldn't go to waste would be a great perk, but a good family fit is what's most important to me. I hope you consider me; if you have any questions, feel free to ask!
^This was my profile almost 10 years ago now! I’ve since had other experiences and jobs, gone to grad school, etc., but look back so fondly on my time as a nanny and au pair I’ve come full circle and I’m back!
