A little bit about me

Hi Families! I am a proud graduate of the University of Delaware, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Human Services with a minor in Family and Community Services. I've always had a deep love for working with children and families, and I'm looking to return to a field that truly brings me joy-childcare.
My background in human services has given me a strong foundation in understanding child development, family dynamics, and effective communication. I'm now seeking a position as a nanny where I can put that knowledge and passion to use. My goal is to find a supportive family I can assist while I prepare to take the next step in my career: pursuing a Master's degree.
I'm reliable, nurturing, and dedicated to creating a safe and engaging environment for the children I care for. I would love the opportunity to bring positivity, structure, and warmth into a home while helping to shape young minds during their most important years.

A little bit about me

I am 18 years old who loves working with kids and helping out working parents. I graduated high school in 2025. I plan to hopefully go back to school for a masters degree in athletic training after saving up money and working for a few years. I played a few sports so I can help kids with that and I was also in honor classes in case the kids need help with homework.
