Hi there!
My name is Brittany but my preferred name is Roman. I am a Career Nanny new to Urban Sitter but not to childcare. I spent 12 years growing and working alongside a family in SF so my reviews on Urban Sitter are limited. This past year, I've been working full-time with a wonderful family caring for a 3 year old and a 10-month old, (in addition to part-time hours with two other beautiful families). My full-time family relocated, so now I'm looking to partner with another family (or nanny share) full-time & preferably long-term☺️.
A little about me:
I have 16 years experience in childcare, 14 years experience as a nanny, 6 years working for a Waldorf/Montessori inspired toy store, 2 years as a pre-nursing student (while working as Certified Nursing Assistant), and experience working as an administrative assistant for an outpatient rehab facility. I have a B.A. degree in Health Administration with focus on health law, epidemiology, and communicable diseases. I graduated with high honors (Magna cum laude) in December of 2021.
I spent 2 years as a residential counselor for two co-Ed youth group homes in Concord and Hercules, CA. I have completed and attained multiple certificates of training as part of the, "Foster & Kinship Care Education Program" at Diablo Valley College (These trainings helped develop my understanding and knowledge of child development & attachment, how trauma affects the grieving process, and how to deal with the effects of child behavior) along with college courses in psychology & child development.
I have experience with children and the following:
Asthma, Sickle Cell Anemia, Obesity, Diabetes, ADD, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder, ARFID, &severe food allergies (I have experience with vegetarian and vegan diets as well).
In my free time:
I am currently volunteering as an Adult English Literacy instructor for Project Second Chance (a program offered by Contra Costa County Library Services) using online platforms.
I'm an avid camper/backpacker/hiker & outdoor enthusiast. I organize and run my own women's active group (BAQWAG) along with events for many others. I love theater, art, books, gardening, conservation, travel, and learning different languages.
With your child:
I'm adaptable to all teaching techniques. If there is specific model you use for parenting please let me know. Aside from that, we tend to do lots of art, reading, outdoor activities & Library/community/cultural events.
“Roman is very caring, reliable, and calm. Our kids took to her immediately. We have worked with Roman for more than a year and have always felt our kids were in great hands!”
