A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a junior in college majoring in Marketing and Finance, and I’m looking for a nannying position to fill my time while doing something I truly enjoy working with kids. I have years of hands-on experience caring for children, especially through helping raise my younger brother, who is in 4th grade and has autism. That experience has made me patient, attentive, and adaptable to different needs and personalities.
I genuinely love kids and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them. I’m also very comfortable helping with cleaning, organizing, and preparing meals as part of daily routines. Outside of childcare, I love spending time with my family and golfing. I’m responsible, dependable, and always happy to lend an extra hand where needed.
