A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Molly McDonald from a small reservation in upstate NY. I’ve lived there my whole life with my parents and older brother. Inspired by my mom, a teacher, I earned a degree in education and have spent the past 4 years teaching first grade—a job I’ve absolutely loved. I’m now planning to pursue a master’s in special education and, as part of this new chapter, I’m excited to move away for the first time and work as a nanny. I bring patience, creativity, and a strong background in early childhood development. I’m passionate about helping children grow in a nurturing, supportive environment. I value open communication, kindness, and making every day fun and meaningful. I can’t wait to connect with a family and be part of their children’s growth.
