A little bit about me

I'm Halle. I'm 21. I will be 22 in September. I'm a mom to a 17 month old baby girl named Ellah Lou. I love to adventure and be outside. My goal one day is to be a lactation specialist and a midwife.

I use to nanny/baby sit all the time before I had my daughter. I worked at a chiropractic office and in management at a restaurant after I was done nannying. I'd love to start nannying again with my daughter. I cloth diaper with my daughter and I do gentle parenting. I also do Montessori style learning with her. We practice sign language as well. Although, I am not fluent. We learn daily to help teach her ways to communicate with me. I'd love to find a family to be a full time nanny for with my daughter.
