A little bit about me

I have been nannying for about six years on and off. I have experience with all age groups of kids! I am currently CPR and First Aid (lifeguard) certified! What I love about working with kids is that you are constantly learning how to better your skills. Each child and family is different and you have to learn how you best fit into their daily life style.
