Hi! I am currently a Junior at The University of Iowa. I plan to become a Speech Pathologist after graduate school and work with children who have specials needs.

I've been nannying/babysitting since I was in Junior High. I recently moved to Iowa City which meant I had to leave my last family. They had a newborn boy. I work with them since last September.

I am very family oriented, social, dedicated, and outgoing.

One of my main goals is for the family to be like my own. Trust is the most important factor when having someone care for your child. I want the parent's full trust in me as I care for their child(ren).
