A little bit about me

Hi! I am Evey(: I am a sister of 2 younger brothers. My 14 year old brother is a type one diabetic, so I have experience dealing with a high maintenance child. My mom has worked multiple jobs our whole life so I had to take on a lot of responsibility and care for both of my brothers. I am a very crafty person. I love art projects and music. I also really enjoy cooking and baking. I made a 4 layered cake last year! I can also do any house chores or errands that may need to be done. I am an amazing multi-tasker, and can work well under pressure. Although I am a cat person, I am good with big dogs. (I have an enormous pit bull)

A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Lindsey and I am looking for a part time nanny job for this upcoming summer!

A little about me: I am currently a student at the University of St. Thomas planning to graduate in 2027 with a major in entrepreneurship. I have 5 years of experience with children between the ages of 6 months - 9 years old. I have occasionally worked with special needs children, and I have been a volunteer for special olympics in my community as well. I have been a summer nanny and an occasional babysitter for a few different families through the past few years! I love to be active with my kiddos I watch, whether that is being outdoors, doing crafts, playing games, learning to cook/bake, reading, meeting new friends, or going to parks, museums, etc.

I am willing to do household activities such as cleaning, laundry, meal prep, grocery shopping/misc errands, and other specific chores!

I have a clean driving record and a reliable vehicle for transportation.
