A little bit about me

It's hard to list my experience in a resume fashion. I've worked in a shelter setting where I cared for 8-12 kids on a unit at a time. I've worked providing SCL services to kids with special needs. I've helped raise younger siblings, including twins. I am comfortable with all age groups but definitely find more enjoyment working with infants. Im comfortable with pets.

A little bit about me

Love kids and love dogs. I have a BA in Business Administration ( I know nothing to do with children), I prefer working with children. I’m the youngest of 8. I can do light house keeping, meals, shopping, driving kids to and from practices, school, dance or music lessons whatever they are in. I can help with school homework, listen to them read, teach them how to keep their rooms cleaned and how to be sociable. I can care for them if you let me because it all starts in the home life then carried on into school. I can be the extra you or your right hand man/ woman.

A little bit about me

Hello. 😊
I am the eldest of a six sibling household. I have been a helper caretaker of a home and children for awhile now. In the summer of 2019 I was a part time nanny for an eight year old girl and absolutely loved it. I know how to be firm, listen and nurture; and I care very deeply for children and they’re well-being.
