Nanny/Caregiver
Flagstaff, AZ
11.2020 - 07.2023
- While attending college full time in Flagstaff, AZ - I was a part time preschool assistant from ages one to five and then began working there full time after graduating. However, for the duration of my stay in Flagstaff, I part time nannied for two families. I would say I worked for them around 2 years. They were close family friends who lived a street apart, so sometimes it was one set of kiddos and other times it was both. I began working with the two older kids when they were both one, and then the two younger kids once they got closer to a year old and began attending the preschool.
- I would help nanny on weekends and some week nights after school - so duties included day and night time routines. Nap/bedtime routines, any baths that needed to be taken, bottle feeding or serving food, cleaning up after kids, etc.

- I was a full time teaching assistant to a range of ages, from one year old to five years old. I provided adequate care and supervision to children, prepared food/snacks and provided meals to children, as well as learned and have refreshed courses on infant/child/adult CPR and AED use. I became essentially a second set of hands for the administration of the school due to the length of time I spent there, the experience I had, and leadership skills I carry.
