About Natalie C

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I am a college student with a passion for childcare! I have been caring for infants, children, and junior-high age teenagers for over six years now, and have enjoyed every minute of it. Some key things you should know about me: - I have extensive experience caring for children and pre-teens with special needs, including but not limited to down syndrome (including non-verbal children,) autism, ADHD, OCD, and severe anxiety - I have spent the past five years not only babysitting, but also "pairing" with special needs children for formal events, directing summer camp for ages 6-13 years old, and volunteering with foster children of all ages - I am child, infant, and adult CPR, First Aid, and AED certified by the American Red Cross - I am an active babysitter who enjoys baking, board games, and LEGO building (among other things!) - I also love working with infants, as I miss my younger siblings back home being in that stage! I love animals, and have spent a few years in both veterinary and volunteer settings around cats, dogs, horses, and rabbits, so don't be afraid to reach out if there are pets in the home! I am currently studying Microbiology and Biochemistry as a double major in the Honors College at Mississippi State University, and have availability for part time nanny/childcare positions outside of class beginning in the Fall, as well as babysitting availability currently. I am also often in Tuscaloosa and Oxford, and am happy to work in either!
