A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Hannah (26 years old) and I have one daughter (3 years old). I have been watching children since I was 12 years old and have been working as a nanny part-time to my regular careers for 6 years. I’m comfortable with all ages of children and respectful of every parents style/way of how they like to raise their own children. I’m also comfortable with light housework as needed/assigned. Snack/some meal prep and cleanup is usually expected. I would love a position where I could include my daughter if comfortable. She would not cause problems with me completing any assigned work/errands/responsibilities. She would come along on any outings and would be cared for with my own resources and would be treated equal to any children I’m providing care for. She is extremely friendly, outgoing, and always respectful of others. If she was to cause problems or become a distraction from me providing proper care then I would make different arrangements for her while I work.
