A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kali and chances are, I’d love to work with you and your family. I’m currently a student at the University of Iowa and I’m looking for a part-time nanny job to replace my current job as a barista. I’ve worked with children for as long as I can remember, I even considered nannying overseas. That is, until I decided to go to school again. Anyway, I’ve spent a lot of time with children and I would happily accommodate anything your child needs. I can cook vegan, gluten-free, and dairy free meals. I can tutor in most subjects, up to even seniors in high school. I have a passion for helping people and teaching people, and I think that being a nanny would help me do both of those things. If you have any questions about me I would love for you to contact me!
