A little bit about me

Hi, I am a 26 year old, recent UGA graduate looking for nannying jobs. I absolutely love working with children and have babysat children from ages 2 months to 14 years old for 9 years now. I am CPR and First Aid certified and was a lifeguard for two summers. I worked as a Junior Staff camp counselor for kids from ages 2-14. I also have volunteered in my church nursery for newborn babies to 3-year-olds for six years now. I'm very active and love to play games with kids. I have my own car and am a safe driver if transportation for children is needed. I am willing to do meal prep and housekeeping. I am available everyday during the week and on weekends. Please message me if you're interested or would like more information as I am interested in working for you! Thanks, Claire
