A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bailey, and I’m a female college senior looking for summer nannying work from May 16th (when I graduate) through July 30th. I’ll be relocating to Philadelphia around August 1st for graduate school.
I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins, starting when they were newborns and had several babysitting jobs throughout high school. I also have four nieces and nephews under the age of two, so I’m very comfortable caring for infants and toddlers. I’m dependable, active, caring, and excited to help out your family this summer!
