A little bit about me

I’m a loving and caring Nanny with 25 years experience. Currently with a family of 11 1/2 years. Unfortunately they are moving out of state.
I’m looking for my next family to care for. Dependable and trustworthy. I like to work with children of all ages to see them grow into their best selves. I’m fun and creative. Good at keeping them busy with arts & crafts, science projects (age appropriate), going to parks, zoo, aquarium, museums, beach, and going to whatever activities they have. Taking them to doctor or dentist visits. Also do light cleaning, making healthy choice meals and snacks. Will run whatever errands you have. I’m organized in keeping track of stocking whatever items need to be tended to. Grocery shopping.
Little bit about me: I like to cook healthy meals, hiking, roller blading, walks on the beach, working out at the gym, and reading.
