Summer Nanny and Babysitting/Tutoring

My daughter Sarah is home from Dickinson College for the summer. She is looking for a nanny position for school age kids or other babysitting/tutoring jobs.

She is certified in CPR and Wilderness First Aid. She was on the swim team for 6 years and the high school golf team, and is involved in technical theater so she would be able to supervise kids during their summer activities and add fun activities of her own. She has her own car and is available in the Twin Cities area.

She would also be available for tutoring or college preparation and essay writing for older students. She completed the International Baccalaureate Degree in high school and has been on the Dean's list for both years at Dickinson. She speaks Spanish - 6 years - and Mandarin Chinese - 2 years.

Contact me for her phone number!
