A little bit about me

Hello my name is Casey

I always wanted to work with children, because of my love for children, I began babysitting like many young teens. After many occasional babysitting jobs as a teenager, I knew that working in child care was what I was called to do. Being a nanny is the most fulfilling job I have ever done, and in fact, I love it so much that even on the days that are harder than others, being a nanny hardly ever feels like work. Especially when I am working with a family that is a perfect match.

Please feel free to contact me for a list of my references and my resume!
