A little bit about me

Having had sitters in the past I comprehend the kind of influence adult figures can have on developing children. Providing a safe, relatable, and fun nanny is an important task that should take priority. I have experience watching kids ranging in ages from 2 to 12 throughout high school. I often would look after them in the summer and we’d spend time doing things we all enjoyed. Although, I had to leave my hometown when school started up I did have a lot of experience with children during my time in college. I recently graduated from the University of Kentucky in May with my degree in Neuroscience. I volunteered with children almost on a weekly basis through the university's local Children's Miracle Network Hospital along with other organizations such as Make-A-Wish and CASA. During my time in Kentucky, I was very involved in various university clubs and neurodegenerative research projects. Most of these were centered around helping people and children in need. If chosen I hope to become a role model for your child and give them a glimmer of what they can achieve. I also hope that I am not only their nanny but their friend during our time together. I have a resume and CV prepared for anyone wanting it. Please just message me so I can email it to you! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
