A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Lilly K and I am going to be 17 years old in August of 2021. I have years of experience with children and absolutely adore spending time with kids! I am going to be a senior at Traverse City Central High School next school year and am involved in multiple clubs, sports, and extracurriculars. I am a positive, outgoing person that always tries to have fun and make sure everyone around me is also having fun! I have two younger siblings, one of which struggles behaviorally so I am experienced with that and am willing to work with and through those struggles. I look forward to getting in contact with you! Thanks!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Medea. I’m 18 years old, I was homeschooled. I’ve lived in Traverse for about a year, but am unhappy with my current job, and I am hoping to find a different source of income. Growing up I was called “Little Momma”, being the oldest out of many children; I have pretty much been a nanny my entire life. I have experience teaching, tutoring, and most importantly learning. Those close to me would most likely describe me as someone who is creative and optimistic. I hope to hear from you soon! Let’s see if we’re a good fit!
