A little bit about me

Hello! My name is milly, im 19, and I currently clean 4 nights a week, and I’m looking for a day job! I don’t have much professional children’s care experience, but I did grow up in a big family! Not only can I provide attentive care for your kiddos and get to know them, we also can have a lot of fun coming up with new games to play, drawing, coloring, reading, teaching, going on little lunch dates to get out of the house, and on those warmer days going and getting fresh air and going to the park or maybe the pool. I can also help around the house with task like laundry, dishes, organizing kids rooms/toys or just day to day light housecleaning:)

Hi, my name is Brandi Mcdermott. I am 45 years old, I have 5 kids, and 2 grandkids. My youngest is 18 and just moved out. I have always either taken care of children or the elderly!

But I am looking to move to Iowa in a few months...I also grew up with 9 siblings, so I have always been around kids. I have been doing home health care for the last 10 years, mostly elderly, but some little ones as well!! I love kids and dogs!!
