A little bit about me

Hello there! I'm a recent high school graduate and am looking for a job in the childcare field. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old in ages ranging 3 months to 13 years old. I have tons of experience with kids and seem to be able to form great connections with them! I love taking kids out to do fun things like the park, the zoo, the science center and anything child friendly with in the city. I am reliable, honest and trustworthy

A little bit about me

I have always loved working with children, and it was my main form of work through high school
and college. I worked abroad for 3 years for a non profit that focused on youth intervention and development as the project manager and fundraising coordinator. Once returning to the United States I immediately got back into nannying and worked alongside a family full time for a year prior to being married. While working for this family I did meal prep, laundry, household cleaning, pet sitting and evening babysitting/overnights when needed. After finishing that job, I worked part time for a single father and helped get the kids up, ready and to school in the mornings, and also picked them up and provided assistance with school work and dinner until the father was home from work. I am now looking for a part or full time job that pays me for what I feel my experience and skills over the years qualify me for. I look forward to meeting and becoming part of your family!
