A little bit about me

Hi! My names Maliha and I’m 21 years old. Graduated High-school and currently enrolled in community college as well as Western Illinois University for a PHD in Psychology. I love taking care of kids. I want to start saving up for college more and this seems the absolute best option. I get to earn my finance as I do what I enjoy and am best at. Taking care of kids. I’m open minded and very flexible when it comes to my schedule. Definitely happy to oblige with any rules given when taking care of ones child. I can only describe myself so much but if an interview is needed from me I’ll be more than happy to meet the parents. I’m as transparent as it gets and nothing matters but the caring of the child and their safety:)

A little bit about me

Hello Families! I am Cortney, I have raised two grown adults (one with special needs) So I have learned a lot about childhood development first hand. Besides that, I have been a nanny for the past two years to a lively little girl. I started with her since she was 3 months. I would consider myself warm, engaging, patient and energetic. I love arts and crafts and sports. I like to keep learning fun and simple. I focus on fine motor skills, cognitive development and language development. I am versed in many subjects and am attentive and catering. I love children and I believe the more love kids receive the better they'll be.
