A little bit about me

Throughout high school, I would work at a daycare before and after school I worked with all age groups and miss it dearly. The daycare that I used to work at closed down and I haven’t found one like it since.
I have a two-year-old nephew and a one-year-old niece. I also have two other nieces that are in school. I enjoy working with kids and watching them grow. I know how to administer first aid and CPR even though I am not certified I was certified about three years ago when I used to work in daycare.
I hope you’ll consider me as your nanny.
