Anna I. - New York Babysitter

I'm currently seeking occassional babysitting opportunities.

In 2002, I started working at a daycare center in Cambridge, MA as a work-study student. In 2003, I found myself at a Harvard affiliated child care center where I worked for a total of 4 years. At the Harvard affiliated child care center, I was a floating teacher for a few years, gaining experience working with children ages 3 months to 5 years old. This past year, I had the opportunity to be in the infant room before moving to New York for grad school and I have to say that I truely had the best job in the world. Words can't possibly describe both the joys and challenges of working with infants who are now toddlers. I miss the children terribly and hope to spend time with infants/toddlers.

As a graduate student, I've had the experience interning at agencies and providing play theapy to children ages 3-5.  In addition to play therapy, my knowledge of developmental milestones and experience working as a teacher really helped me work with the parents as well.
