A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Morgan! I have been a full-time nanny for the past 3 years and absolutely love what I do. I have experience caring for children from 2 weeks old all the way to 16 years old, and every age has taught me something new. My goal is to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel loved and parents have peace of mind. I'm dependable, patient, and love encouraging learning through play, reading, crafts, music, and outdoor activities. I take pride in building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I'd be happy to provide references from the wonderful families I've worked with. I'm excited to find a family that's a great fit and become someone they can truly rely on.

A little bit about me
Hi! I am originally from Kingsport, TN but I am in Columbia for college. I have experience with children 5 months to 12 years, but I am comfortable with any age. I am CPR and first aid certified, and also certified in childcare by the Red Cross. I love crafts, games, and movies. I also love cleaning, which is hopefully an added bonus :) I’m comfortable with driving children as needed as long as I am provided with car seats. I also have a little experience with special needs!
