A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Jessie! I grew up in a big family (7 siblings, 3 of them a lot younger than me!) and I have always enjoyed taking care of kids. I have worked as a nanny for two different families, and in a 3 different daycares. I would love to be a nanny again so that I can devote more quality attention to just a few children, instead of trying to work with the high ratios of the preschool system. I love cooking and cleaning and taking care of things and I am a hard worker. In my free time I love painting and walking my dog with my husband. I am a Christian and my faith is important to me and I try my best to find joy in every situation.

A little bit about me

My name is Callie and I have experience at a daycare. I absolutely love and adore children. One of the reasons I went to apply at the daycare wasn't because I wanted to be around children.. but helping them learn and develop skills and talents that are hidden from the outside world. My goal is to make sure that every child has a chance at something great!

Hi, I am Morgan! I am from a small town in Arkansas. I grew up on a farm. I have a love for reading, baking, and being outdoors. I have been taking care of my little cousins and other people's children for about five years now. I am well experienced with kids.
