A little bit about me

Hi! My names Phoebe O’Bryan and I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 13. I am now 20 and want to continue to work with kids, one day becoming a teacher. In the past I have taken care of children from the ages of 2 months old to 12 years old. I’ve watched both boys and girls of all ages.
Most recently, I was a nanny for two school aged girls; ages 8 and 11. I was responsible for picking the girls up from school, helping with homework, preparing dinner, doing light housework and making sure chores were completed and done well, and helping with bath time.
My availablility at the time is very flexible so just let me know what kind of schedule you need and we can work something out!
