Meet Defne

Hello! My name is Defne Selen and I'm from Chatham, NJ. I am a student at the University of Miami and will be a sophomore there this year! As an only child with two full-time working parents, I have always grown up alongside great nannies and babysitters and appreciated the fact that they were there for me as a great friend, role model, and make believe older sibling! With that being said, throughout my years of babysitting and nannying, I try to bring the same feeling to the kids I am watching ( especially since I truly believe I am a child at heart myself :) ). I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old, but throughout my last couple years of high school, I have had tons of experience nannying, driving, cooking, and having to do a lot more with the kids rather than just putting them Read more to bed. I have also worked the last 4 summers as a certified lifeguard at Fairmount Country Club, so I am both CPR and First Aid certified and also have good experience getting kids to listen to rules and controlling them from my time at the pool. In addition, I also have my own car with a clean driving record so I'm always available to drive to any activities or playdates that may be needed. I'm extremely flexible and always reliable when it comes to my schedule. Look forward to hearing from you!
