Introduction

If you're looking for an English/Spanish speaking nanny to run around with your kids and who isn’t afraid to get dirty, look no further. :) I love kids, the more the merrier! If your kids are into playing games, building forts, and exploring the outdoors, we’ll definitely get along great. If they love learning and taking trips to the library, that’s one more thing we’ll have in common. If they are more into music, arts, and crafts, they can probably teach me a thing or two!

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!
