Hello! I am Lyndsae Westrich, and I will be moving to Central Ohio in June 2024. I hope to hear from you soon! I worked as a nanny and have provided childcare for hundreds of children over the years in my home or in the families homes with newborns to age 12 years. I have also worked in preschools, Head Start, childcare centers, private and public elementary schools. I have also had 3 years experience in a special education emotional disability classroom. I have loved working with children since I was old enough to babysit, so for 26 years as I am 38 now. I have an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and a Nanny Childcare Provider Certificate and am always current on my CPR certificate. My local community college was not an option on this app, so I chose something similar. I graduated in 2006 from Lake Land College in Mattoon, IL.
