A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Sophia York, and I am 16 years old. I am looking for a nanny job because I love working with children. I am a swim team coach over the summer, working with about 150 kids. I have also taught swim lessons, so I have experience working with children of all ages. I have done babysitting before, but have never nannied. I am currently a junior in high school and have a license and a car, so I am able to drive as needed. I am very reliable and responsible, so I would be an excellent fit for a nanny. I have high school classes until 11:40 during the week, so I would be available after that. I also take an in-person college class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:50.
