Meet college nannies and sitters from Colby College

Hi Prospective Parent(s)! My name is Fiona and I’m a junior at Colby College studying International Relations, Economics, and Chinese. I’m back home in New York City for summer break and would love to help out any families in need of childcare. I have prior experience caring for toddlers and elementary-aged children and have babysat since high school. I really enjoy spending quality time with the children I care for and getting to know their personalities and quirks. Though I may be younger than some other applicants, I take safety very seriously and will make it my number one priority. Also, I’m still at an age where I can relate to most children :) Notes: fluent in Mandarin, good knowledge with navigating the city and public transportation, no problem with being technology free. Note: I require 50% of the booking for same day cancellations

Child at Heart ♡ I have been caring for children since I was a young girl and it brings me such joy. Which is why I have done everything from babysitting/nanny to coaching a Special Olympics team, to teaching Art Therapy at the Ronald McDonald House, to teaching swimming, photography, and English to kids, in the US and abroad. I do have my certification for AED, Adult, Child, Infant CPR & AED Training, valid until 03/20/28 and a safe SUV for driving infants to teens. For me the joy is finding what excites each child - and then creating an opportunity for play and learning, whatever the age. Currently (and always!) I am writing a children's book series and want to spend more time with kids. All ages are a fun and creative exploration for me too - always working to find new ways to keep them safe, happy and curious! Teaching for me includes: being in nature, long walks outside, reading, writing, cooking, drawing, games, crafting or building robots, play, music, sport, meditation, kindness, ART, making videos, taking pictures, swimming, yoga, and so much more! Unique: I enjoy exposing young learners to new languages (even infants) including Chinese, Japanese and French. In addition, I do have a small service dog that kids love to play with, read to and cuddle with. She also loves giving hugs!
