A little bit about me…

Hello! I am a mother of a 2year old, I’m currently a college student studying to become a medical assistant. I have previously worked as a nanny for a couple years and I loved it! I love working with kids and being able to develop a great relationship with them! I find it very important to give excellent care when working with kids of all ages, considering I myself am a mother and know the struggles of leaving your baby with a stranger! I would be honored to be able to care for your child or children!
