A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Kay and I'm currently a rising junior in college studying Communications with a minor in Cultural Studies. However I decided to take this year off so I have a wide flexibility range when it comes to accommodating you and your family. I have babysat/nannied since high school and have kept it up on the side ever since. I have a great passion for working with children especially when it comes helping nurture creativity within children. I am very passionate about non for profit work and routinely volunteer with at risk youth for homework help so tutoring help is never a problem! I enjoy kids of all ages and will do my best to take some of the stress off your plate while maintain a safe environment for your kids to flourish.

A little bit about me

edit Edit
Hi! My name is Mitzi and I'm currently a sophomore in college. I've been working with kids since I was 13 and love it. I started by watching my younger sister and cousin, and then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with preschoolers and elementary kids, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I whip out my crafting skills :) In my free time, I love hiking, playing with my dog and doing my makeup.
