A little bit about me

I have about three years of nannying experience and about six years of babysitting experience. I nannied for the same family for three years and my duties include general daily care of children including but not limited to: creative ideas for playtime, implementing naptime, making meals, adhering to schedules for children, light housekeeping and maintain the general welfare of the children. I have experience caring for newborns to 15-year-olds. I'm getting ready to be a college freshman at the University of Kentucky and I'm looking for a job that isn't a retail job and I'm actually doing something I enjoy! I love children and that's why am pursuing a degree in education.

A little bit about me

For a little over two years, I’ve been working full-time at a daycare, where I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience nurturing and educating young children. Every day, I help create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment that encourages curiosity, growth, and social development. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to manage classrooms, plan age-appropriate activities, and communicate effectively with both children and parents. While working, I’ve also been pursuing my degree in education online, preparing to become a certified teacher. Balancing work and school has strengthened my time management and organizational skills, and it has deepened my passion for helping children learn and thrive.
