A little bit about me

Hi!
My name is Grace, originally from New Hampshire. I’m looking for either a part time or full time nannying job. I just graduated from Franciscan University with a degree in Human Development, looking at a few options for grad school. I’m interested in pursuing a career either teaching elementary or becoming a counselor. I’ve babysat and nannied different families since high school, I love kids, and come from a big family so I’m pretty used to having to help out. I’m a big outdoors person and enjoy doing art!
