I'd describe my personality as empathetic, patient, and diligent I like working with kids because it is something I naturally take to. I'm looking for a job that is consistent in hours and is focused on compromise between the child, the parent(s), and the caregiver. I started working with kids when I was just 8. I am one of 10 kids, and as of now I have 18 nieces and nephews. I've been helping to entertain, feed, and nurture children essentially my whole life. In my spare time, I like to play games, collect memorabilia, and take care of my pets- two cats and two sugar gliders. One thing you should know about me is I work as an extension of you and your parenting. Ultimately, what you say goes. I hope to have a working, collaborative experience focused on how you want your kids to be raised and what we find works best for your situation. My skills include conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, and a unique way of connecting with kids by meeting them where they are.
Gideon and my 7 year old had a fantastic time over 2 days. My son is very shy and wary of new people, but he quickly warmed up to Gideon. They had a blast around Boston and Cambridge doing many touristy things. I was in town for work. I had booked a nanny through a private agency and she called in sick 15 min before she was to arrive. They quickly found Gideon and he arrived within 30min and saved the day. He was on time, trustworthy, kind to my shy son, and most importantly: fun!
