A little bit about me

I am a independent 15 year old, I've been babysitting for about a year now. I make sure I take care of children, keep them safe and clean, and plan meals for them. I also organize creative and educational activities based on their age. I'm taking drivers ed classes now but I have reliable transportation from place to place from my father who I would introduce you'all to. He always would know what i'm doing and where I am for safety and emergencies. I attend Hyde Park Academy and just moved to the Auburn Gresham Area from the Hyde Park Area I look forward to being able to help with everyday tasks and build a fun and healthy relationship with you and your child.

A little bit about me

Hello families!

My name is Molly, I'm 22 years old, and I am currently looking for live-in nanny opportunities!

I take pride in being a compassionate, understanding, and hardworking person with a passion for making a difference in children's lives.

I believe that seeing the world through a child's eyes and meeting them where they are at currently is the key to truly understanding them.

The thing that sets me apart from other candidates is my unique ability to connect with and see a child for who they really are.

As a creative writer, I love to take what I know about reading, writing, and other creative outlets and instill them into children's daily lives.

The world is a magical place, so exploring and going outside is also quite important to me.

I am always available to connect, so feel free to reach out!

I look forward to hearing from you!
