A little bit about me

I am a 26 year old college graduate from USM with a degree in teaching. I am currently a science teacher for grades 6-8. Throughout my schooling I have done babysitting and nannying for a total combined experience of over 12 years years with ages 3 months to 15 years old. I do a lot of cleaning and housekeeping around my own home, as well as when on jobs. I took care of my infant niece for the whole summer a year ago. I am comfortable with meal prep, bathing, bedtime, houskeeping, and lots and lots of play! I am also open to tutoring as a teacher and with 2.5 college years of engineering behind me. I have 4 shetland sheepdogs at home (2 puppies just over a year old and 2 senior dogs 12.5 years old) and am often around family members cats so I am comfortable having pets around or helping with them as well. I am comfortable caring for up to 3 children at a time. I have my own reliable transportation and a clean driving record to get to any job. I look forward to connecting with you!
