A little bit about me

Hi, My name is Savannah Anderson I am a senior at the university of Alabama. I’m currently working on a bachelor’s degree in communication with a minor in marketing! I will be here for the entirety of the summer taking a few classes online. I grew up with such a large family. I miss them dearly, and I feel like nannying will help remind me a little bit more of home! I love crafting and making things and kids are always so fun to teach them and do them with!

I am going into my senior year at alabama. I am here in the summer and have a very open schedule. I love working with children. My mom is a kindergarten teacher and I’ve always helped her in her classes. Reading to students, doing crafts, playing games, and anything else the kids want to do. I’m very passionate about children. My life goal is to be a mother, and i couldn’t think of a better job than working with children.

A little bit about me

My greatest experience that I am blessed with is having 6 siblings, through them I have learned every stage of a child and what needs they may have. I've dedicated myself to be engaging and supportive care for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens.
My approach is patient and loving. I adapt to each child's unique personality. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and believe in open communication with parents, always following your preferred method. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that make learning fun, especially every child’s unique interests.
I have some college education and am comfortable caring for up to four children. I am most reliable as I have obtained the same job for 3 years as well as other side jobs throughout. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am also able to house sit, or stay with the children for multiple nights/days. I hope to bring my passion for care and fun to your family!!
