A little bit about me

Hi there! I am a current senior at Purdue University graduating in May with a bachelors in Elementary Education. As I transition between college life and setting up my future classroom, I am looking for part-time nannying opportunities. Hours and child age ranges are flexible! I have worked with infants through kindergarten in a private daycare setting and kindergarten through 6th grade in a public education setting.

I am deeply passionate about providing a safe and loving environment for all children. Through my time at Purdue and incredible student teaching opportunities, I have gained immense knowledge on how to best meet the needs of diverse groups of children. Every child deserves to be loved and cared for, which is why I have chosen my career path!

I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your family a little more. Please reach out if you have any interest in a nanny for the Summer of 2025. Thank you!
