I have worked as a classroom assistant for childcare center from 2[removed]. I helped teachers supervise children during play, implement lessons, and help during bathroom/diapering. I worked with ages 6 weeks to 6 years-old. I have a BA in Psychology and also hold a MSW and was a child and family therapist for 10 years. Currently, I am transitioning to focus on writing and music career, and would like part time work to support myself. I'm flexible, independent, and fun. I believe in making children feel safe above all things. I love music, art, dance, and games and share those activities with children. I am dancer with education and teaching experience in ballet, tap, jazz, modern, and musical theater. I have play piano and bass currently.

It’s our first time working with Angelique. So far our 1 and 2 year old didn’t fuss. They played with her and did not cry

Hello, I’m Wendy and I love working with kids of all ages and all types of pets! I have done a lot of babysitting over the years and have a 17 year old son. I have a lot of experience with cats, dogs and horses as well. I work part time for a chiropractor as the office manager, but we’re a newer business so we don’t have enough patients to be there full time. I have a positive attitude and I’m compassionate and understanding. Reading and doing activities with kids are some of my favorite things to do while babysitting. My hobbies include reading, horseback riding and spending time with our 3 cats and 1 dog. I hope to hear from you and have an opportunity to meet your kids and or pets!
