A little bit about me

Hello, I am a 29 year old mother of a 6 year old girl as well as a 15mo girl- working close with children is my absolute passion. I am patient, kind and energetic. I have my CPR, First Aid, Medication, and Early Childhood Education certifications as well training in positive behavior management.
After working in childcare for 3 years I’ve begun nannying- being a reliable trustworthy caregiver who helps with light housework and meal prep.
Currently looking for something part-time during week night hours, after school care or for parents who work a night shift.
