A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jamie and I am 27 years old. I have been a career nanny for the past 5 years. Before this I volunteered as a teacher at a Sunday school for 4 years and a pre school teacher's aid for one year. I have experience with children from two months up to the teen years as well as multiples. I have my own car and am willing to have car seats put in and travel up to 20 miles to school and activities. I love taking my kids to different parks, museums, indoor play places, and out for "coffee" ( chocolate milk). On inside days I love utilizing Pinterest for fun crafts and baking ideas. Thank you and I hope to hear from you!
