A little bit about me

Hi I’m Allie! I grew up as the 4th child in a family of 9 so I am used to taking care of multiple children at the same time. I was a live in nanny for 2 years for 2 infants/toddlers. I am currently finishing my bachelors degree in elementary education and will be completing my credential student teaching program in the fall. Because I will have that commitment, I am looking for a family that needs weekday evening care or anytime during the weekends. I can provide enriching activities and games for your children as well as do tutoring for any older kids if necessary. I hope to bring fun and laughter into your home while making sure your children are safe and happy!
