Booked by 217 families in Durham, NC

I have over 15 years paid experience as a babysitter/nanny, a Masters in International Development, au pair experience in Ireland (3 kids under 6 on a dairy farm!), and I taught 2nd grade in Shanghai for two years. I also have ample experience caring for families with multiples, children with special needs, and night nurse experience with infants. When babysitting I enjoy reading, playing outside, taking walks, making crafts, and getting creative with pretend play. I’m also comfortable driving, swimming, and helping with homework if needed.
