Heyy ya!! My name is Angel and I am 35 years old! I am also a single mother to a beautiful 6 years old daughter. At this time I am also transitioning from active duty service after 16 years. As I enter this transition period with plans to return to college I am looking for an understanding situation for my family.
As far as pets, I do have history taking care of goats, ducks, rabbits, dogs, cats, and bearded dragons. Therefore animals will not be an issue. But maybe spiders!! 🤭🤣

So first thing first I love children and a caring parent myself. I have 3 myself at the age of 8, 6 and 4. They love the company of other children as well as great with other children. I love going to the park and letting them run around and be themselves. I love cooking fun foods and love the children help create lunch meals. I have many fun activities. I also have a membership pass at a community center they I enjoy going to.

A little bit about me
Hi! Welcome to my nannylane profile! I am a mommy of 2 boys of my own who are 10 and 5. I enjoy helping other families out when they are searching for someone to love and care for their kiddos. I know just how stressful it can be to go to a job and not know if the person responsible for your kids is showing them the same kind of love and care you would be showing if you were present! I do not just look at nanny jobs as jobs but instead a time for me to offer my love and kindness to other children and grow our village! I have always had a love for kids and being of use to others when I am able. Over the last year I made some career changes and have been focusing solely on my business, kids, and personal growth. Growing up I was the one babysitting the younger ones as well as teaching and leading classes for our younger generation. I enjoy making myself useful to others and stepping in and making meals, pickup, drop off, homework, cleaning, and just playtime! Looking forward to talking!
