A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Molly and I am a 21 year old part time student living in PB. I am an adventure lover, a film photographer, and spend most of my time hiking or in the ocean. I have around 7 years of experience as a babysitter/nanny, and have watched children from infants to 12 year olds. I love spending time with children and fostering an environment in which they feel comfortable to play and learn. I would love to connect with a family who is looking for a part time nanny and or an occasional sitter. I have a car and am able to drive to you and also able to drive kids too. I have my CPR certification and can provide many references if need be!
