A little bit about me

Hello 🤗
Hello! I'm Anna Vollink, and I'm currently seeking a nanny position. I'm employed at a daycare from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, making me available for nanny duties after those hours. My experience at the daycare has given me the opportunity to work with children across a wide range of ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I'm comfortable with various responsibilities, including meal preparation, engaging in educational activities, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I'm also certified in CPR and First Aid, providing an extra layer of security for the families I work with. I'm excited about the possibility of bringing my skills and enthusiasm to a family in need of childcare!
