A little bit about me

Hi I'm Carly i'm 20 studying to be an early childhood educator I have tons of experience with littles. I’m CPR certified have a car with room for 2 car seats. I’m looking for a summer nanny job only because I plan on working full time as a teacher in August 2026. I’m comfortable and experienced with all ages I am allergic to animals so I’d prefer no animals but it’s also something I’m very used too. I’ve been babysitting for about 2 years now as well as worked part time at Crystal lake Montessori. If I sound like a good fit feel free to reach out!
