A little bit about me

"Hi there! I’m a student at The University of Alabama pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m looking for flexible sitting jobs where I can bring my professional background into a fun, home environment!

I have over 3 years of experience—including work with the Department of Defense—and I’m fully CPR/First Aid certified with a CDA credential. I’m just as comfortable rocking an infant to sleep as I am helping a preschooler with a creative craft or a school-aged child with their homework. My goal is always to make sure your kids are safe, happy, and having a blast while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your family!"
