A little bit about me

Hi there!! My name is Jess, I’m a full time school psychologist during the school year, and I’m currently looking to pick up a few hours on the weekends or during the summer to work with some little ones on the side. I’ve worked with just about every age at this point, and have taken every childhood development/education class you can name. I’ve coached, worked in daycares/preschools, and babysat for most of my life before starting in schools, and worked as a summer Nanny for a lovely family 2 years back. I’m looking forward to having fun outside of the school environment, and I hope I’m a good fit for your family!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kathryn Lawton and I have been babysitting since I was 13, worked in a daycare at the age of 16, and started full time nannying since I was 17 and I have worked in an infant room, 2 daycares and I teach preschool. I have experience with all ages but I'm really intrested in working with younger kids. I am perfect for a last minute call for childcare, I'm very hardworking and embrace chaos. I am a full time student who is 19 years old. I am looking for new families to help out and would love to go back to nannying for infants to 2 years old, because all my littles are big kids now! I love the beach, taking the kids places, and hanging out with my friends and family. I have grown up in Columbia my whole life but have spent most of my summers growing up on the shoreline. I can't wait to be able to help you all out with your kiddos!!
