A little bit about me

I started my babysitting/nannying journey when I was around 12! Starting with neighbors and family friends then eventually being referred to other families! I also gained experience as a camp counselor and in the lead staff role at a YMCA summer camp dealing with ages 5-12. While in college I held different babysitting jobs for children of all ages, including infants! I love kids and hope to make working with children part of whatever my future career may be. Though for now if I can help make a positive impact for a child when I can then I am happy to! I also love to make a parent’s life easier :)

A little bit about me

As a 24-year-old nanny with 3 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to grade-schoolers, I'm excited to provide a warm, nurturing environment for your family. I'm fluent in English and Kinyarwanda, and I have a diverse skill set that includes drawing, reading, music, and playing educational games. I'm comfortable with pets, chores, and even helping with homework. I achieved national honors in A-level examinations ranking in the top 30 nationally and volunteered to tutor primary and middle school students, and I therefore believe I can be a great study companion to your kid(s).
Although I don't have a first aid certification, I'm a responsible and empathetic caregiver who can ensure your children's safety and well-being. I'd be thrilled to discuss my experience and qualifications in more detail.

Apart from my paid nanny experience, I also helped raise four of my younger siblings, raising both toddlers, grade schoolers and teenagers.
