A little bit about me

Hi there!

I am 25 years old. I was born and raised in Charleston, went to college of Charleston, and just moved back to town after 4 years in California. I work as a legal assistant right now but my boss is retiring and closing his firm so I’m looking to do something new! I love kids, I find they are better company than adults. I have tons of babysitting experience, however draw the line at watching more than 2 kids at one time. Contact me if you need a reliable nanny!
