A little bit about me

My name is Gracie Bishop. I am 21 years old and have a reliable car. I have been nannying since a young age as I have always had a love for caring for children. In high school I worked for three years at a preschool where I cared for children as well as made lesson plans and led lessons. During this time I continued nannying and over summer worked full time nanny jobs. I coordinated after-school activities and transportation to practices and events for 2+ children. As well as carpooling with other families and coordinating with their parents. I helped children with homework assignments and special projects in a variety of subjects in order to help them succeed academically. I have taken on more roles in the household for families such as cleaning, laundry, cooking, and other household chores. As well as developed long-term, professional relationships with families by encouraging open communication and providing positive feedback.
