A little bit about me

I’m new to the Charleston area, recently engaged, and looking to work with children. Playing, nurturing and working with children is what brings me the most joy in life. I’m looking forward to finding a family who needs extra hands in their home. I’m one of 6 children, I’ve been a mother’s helper since I was a teenager and I have worked in the church nursery as long as I can remember. I live a very holistic life, I will be entering your home fragrance free and pet hair free. I would love to work with a family who is interested in health and non-toxic living.

Key things to note: I have a fragrance allergy, peanut allergy and pet allergy. Which makes me great with handling food sensitivities, special diets and allergies.

My references can be provided upon request.
