Hi! I'm 21 years old and have been nannying for the past 3 years. As the oldest of five siblings, with my youngest sibling being 4, caring for children has always been a big part of my life.

A little bit about me

I am a retired teacher looking to find a family to connect with long-term. I was a nanny all through high school and college, and raised two of my own children. I am willing to care for any age, plan and facilitate activities, meal prep, carpool, tutor, and assist with any other needs the child(ren) may have. I have extensive experience with all ages, and have a lot of energy and patience. I am not currently up-to-date on CPR/FA, but will gladly take care of that if requested.
