A little bit about me
My name is Markus Causey I am 19 going on 20 in may. I’m looking to be a babysitter/nanny because for 1 I grew up with 7 younger siblings so I’m really used to taking care of children been doing it my whole life. I also worked at day 1 tech it was a community started organization. I would go around the rockwood area to local elementary and middle schools and mentor them. If I wasn’t in the schools we would set up community fairs and what not all day. So working and entertaining children is normal for me and I love it

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Isabel and I am an undergraduate student at Linfield University studying Nursing. I am interested in health, coffee, and traveling. I love to explore nature and adventure and I am always open to whatever life throws my way. My nursing dream is to work in pediatrics and/or with special needs kids. I am type 1 diabetic and have 2 animals at home, a dog and a cat. I. love to cook and do not mind cleaning since I am somewhat of a clean freak! My ideal family to work for would understand the demand of nursing school and would work with me around my school schedule. I am fully vaccinated and hope that whoever I work for is also vaccinated. LGBTQ pride is always a plus :)
