About Fiona
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My experience inside and outside the classroom has deepened my understanding of children's needs. Before teaching special education, I worked as a live-in and live-out nanny for a family with three children. Currently, I'm taking a break from the classroom to pursue other passions while staying connected to children through babysitting, tutoring, and volunteering. I am CPR certified, drive a reliable CRV, and can provide references outside of Care. com. I prefer a screen-free environment while caring for children and keep my phone away, except for essential parent communication and kid-friendly music on Spotify. I'm open to a set schedule (evenings and weekends) or occasional babysitting and pride myself on being reliable. Additional references are available upon request.

Fiona is an absolute joy! We hired her a few times to watch our infant daughter. Fiona was really patient, sweet and kind with her. Fiona truly spends time and engages with children - making them feel comfortable and ensuring they have fun! Based on Fiona's background, she was also able to share a few tips with me that really helped with education. I look forward to hiring Fiona again and I know our daughter will be really excited to see her.
