A little bit about me

I have worked with kids for as long as I can remember! My brother was born when I was 9, so helping to take care of him was a huge reason I loved working with kids. Throughout highschool, I worked as a nanny in the summer times, and now as a junior in college, I am still going back to visit/nanny for the same families when I can! I worked as a preschool/daycare assistant through Grand Haven Area Public Schools all throughout senior year, so I have had to complete lots of trainings. I also am re-doing my CPR certification for a health compliance certification at GVSU. I am a very active person, so I love doing anything outdoors, and I love to bake! I always have an idea of a plan ready (and others in my back pocket) for each day, so I never come with nothing to do! I am looking into moving north from where I am now for the summertime (due to fieldwork for my major), and would love to nanny as much as possible!
