Babysitter and Nanny - EMILY K. (User #4655)

I am 24 years old (25 in August) with my own transportation. My nursing school schedule during the summer is pretty low key and I would love some light, flexible, mostly weekday hours of babysitting work. I have lots of experience working with children and have babysat for several sittercity families. I also have experience with large families. In addition to more than 10 years of babysitting experience, I have worked as a counselor at a 6 week long daycamp for 2-4 year olds for two summers and have worked as an aide to special needs children at a daycamp for middle schoolers. For two years, I had the opportunity to volunteer a few hours a week at the Children's Hospital in Minneapolis where I spent time with children on the inpatient floors and in the infant care center. While attending Carleton College, I ran a weekly library story hour program. Further, in high school, I participated in an early education class for 3 years which involved helping out at a nursery school. I am currently in a BSN/MSN nursing program at University of Pennsylvania (for which I have completed multiple background checks and can provide a copy of my child abuse clearance), with the ultimate goal of becoming a nurse practitioner in pediatric critical care and neonatology. I have already had my pediatric nursing rotation. As you can see, I have a real passion for working with children.  Other fun facts: I have attended a study abroad program in Tanzania where I learned Swahili and a marine biology program in Australia and New Zealand. I recently returned from a nursing trip to Thailand where we examined the differences between US and Thai healthcare systems. For wo years I worked as the lead receptionist at a medical lab in Minneapolis, MN. I am also a twin.
