A little bit about me

I have formal education in nursing only one year I am still in school. But I also have experience working in nursing homes and direct support facilities taking care of the elderly, children, and young adults. Some of my clients have had special needs, enjuries, and some just plane needed a babysitter. Being said I absolutely love kids. I’ve tried to have kids of my own even though I’m young lol but it didn’t work out sadly. I’ve babysat my families children, my friends children, and family friends children, even people from my church and I love it. I enjoy watching and helping children of all ages. I do well we laughs and attitudes. I’m caring but a little firm so they have fun and trust me but also do not get out of hand. Unless they’re a baby of course they require lots of love and patience. My availability is Monday through Friday, preferably a 1st shift but any shift would work as well.
