A little bit about me

I grew up in Illinois but recently moved out to Maine. I used to work for Presence Marketing as the National Senior Data Lead for 10 years but got laid off during COVID. Before moving out to Maine I completed my general education courses at Harper College in Illinois to graduate as a science major. My ultimate goal is to move forward and become an ultrasound technician.
I’ve been babysitting on and off for about 12 years, but my favorite experience by far was babysitting twins (a boy & a girl) for a little over a year and a half. When I first started the twins were only a couple of months old, so it was definitely a learning curve but extremely rewarding in the end. I grew very close with the family but unfortunately had to leave for my job opportunity.
I’m CPR & first aid certified. If you have any questions or need references, please feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm a mom with 2 adult children and a teen. Before having my own children, I worked in daycare centers and as a private nanny for 2 young boys, one with special needs. Currently, I am employed full time for a school department as an administrative assistant in special education. My ideal nanny job would be nights and weekends, with flexibility for my daughter's cheer nights. But if your kids would like tumble classes, I'll gladly bring them along. Also open to the occasional babysitting job 😊
