About Me
Hey, my name is Izzy. I am theatrical, energetic and creative. My philosophy for childcare is exactly what my mother taught me: If someone lets you into their home, always leave their space a little tidier and their children a little wiser than when you arrived. Nothing makes me happier than children expressing themselves and learning.
I am 23 years old with 3 months experience as a live-in, full-time nanny for 2 and 4 year old brothers, 5 years of experience working at a summer camp, 8 years of experience as a part-time babysitter (3 nights/week), with children ages 6 months to 17 years. I just completed a degree at the highly competitive Sarah Lawrence College in New York, including a semester abroad in Berlin, Germany and Seoul, South Korea. I have also taken courses on child development and early childhood education, including for children with special needs.
I am organized, responsible, easy-going, even-tempered, sweet and passionate about kid care. What are your goals for/with your children? Let me know, and I'd be more than happy to do more than simply entertain them and keep them safe; I'd love to help you see your children grow.
I love working with kids who love playing pretend and arts and crafts and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty playing outside or cleaning up messes. I love face paint and reading stories and making up stories and taking kids out to see new things. I am great at keeping up with high-energy kids and also work well with quieter, more reserved kids; I am good at bringing them out of their shells.
Working with an "alternative" family (of any kind: single-parent, same-sex parents, adopted children, creative types or any kind of radicals) would be welcomed.
Send me an email if you want to get to know me or talk about your children.
