A little bit about me

I am excited for any oppurtunity to nanny/take care of children! I am patient, engaging, kind, and optimistic. I am passionate about making sure that children feel cared for and that they're not just sitting around with someone who is only there to watch them. I am currently working towards my masters in clinical counseling at Charleston Southern University, and I know from study and experience that the early years of life are the most important. I am great with pets and am willing to help with them if needed. I was also a lifeguard for 4 years and am certified in CPR. For some reason, the background check didn't recognize that but I am CPR certified by Red Cross.

A little bit about me

Hey y’all! I’m a freshman at Clemson University and moving to Charleston in the summer (mid May-July)! I have grown up babysitting and was a nanny my senior year of highschool to two amazing boys that I love like they’re my own. I have experience with kids infant-12 years. I love being outdoors, beach and pool especially, and keeping the kids entertained. I am a very clean and organized person so I always try my hardest to pick up after the kids and do light housework. I would love to find a family to nanny for so if you’re interested please reach out!
