Hi Parent(s) I am very excited to start working again. Since 2019, I have babysat for family members and have taken care of my 9 & 4 yr. old cousins. During my second semester in college in 2022, I started to work as a nanny for a family that had a 1 & 2 yr. old and then worked with a different family later that year where I took care of a 2yr. old. I have most experience with younger children but can't wait to have different experience with children of all ages. I am currently majoring in Early Childhood Education and will graduate in about a year. I love to try and get kids away from the screen and be outside. I do love arts and crafts with kids and singing along to whatever song they are favoriting at the moment.
