A little bit about me

I’m a career nanny that has been working with children for 20 years. I started as an afterschool care worker in high school and worked my way through college as a toddler aid at the ymca. After college I switched to nannying. I have been a nanny for two full time, long term families and have been the weekend and backup nanny for countless families during my career. I am in my mid 30’s and a lot of my friends have kids that I see on a regular basis. I know raising my own kids is not for me as I am content being an
Aunt and nanny.
My current nanny position is coming to an end soon and I am eager to find the next family to support.

A little bit about me

Hello!
I'm a 25-year-old current master's student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where I'm pursuing a Master's in Biomedical Sciences. I hold three degrees: my first, a Bachelor of Arts earned through my high school program, my second, a Bachelor of Science from Howard University (2022), and now my master's at UMiami as I work toward my goal of becoming an M.D.
I have a true passion for caring for children and bring both medical and childcare experience to the table.
I've worked in several healthcare roles, including in the ICU as a PT, a medical assistant, and as a clinical allergist specialist, along with completing extensive research.
With years of experience caring for little ones, I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I'm CPR certified, detail-oriented, and very diligent in everything I do. I currently have open availability and am excited to find a great family to work with.
Let's make babysitting an adventure together! :)
