A little bit about me

I am an 18-year-old aspiring college student planning to attend school in North Carolina, and one of the most meaningful parts of who I am comes from my experiences working with children. I'm looking for something to save up for college my goal is too get my own apartment and car.

One of my experiences with kids was at camp, I was responsible for guiding, supporting, and caring for children of different ages and personalities. Each day brought new challenges, from helping kids adjust to being away from home to resolving conflicts and encouraging teamwork. Through these experiences, I learned how important patience, empathy, and communication are when working with children. More importantly, I saw firsthand how much of a difference a caring and attentive adult can make in a child’s life..

A little bit about me

I’m Jamielee, I am 21 years old currently going to school for Diagnostic Medical Sonography and I am looking for part time/flexible nanny position while studying for my career. I am the oldest of 6 children and have taken on the role of caregiver for my hardworking parents for multiple years. Working with kids is something I’m familiar with and have enjoyed throughout the years. My siblings range from the ages of 4-19 so I’m most fortunate to have experienced children from multiple ages . Now that I am studying for my career and spend most of my time in the city I’m looking forward to help other families provide and work for themselves just as my parents did for mine.
