A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Sierra McGill, and I’m an 18 year old college student with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve spent a lot of time babysitting my three younger siblings as well as my cousins, so I’m very comfortable caring for children of different ages and personalities. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe and fun environment for kids. I’ll be returning to the Baltimore County area starting May 17th and would love the opportunity to support a family in need of a reliable and caring nanny.
