A little bit about me

Hello, I am almost 19yrs old living in Merrifield while trying to decide what i want to go to college for! I have a lot of experience with nannying and even working at a daycare. I love doing art projects, going for walks, and taking kiddos on adventures. I was pediatric first aid and cpr certified but I think it has now expired. If you have any questions feel free to contact!

Hello! My name is Brianna. I grew up in a large family of 8 children being fourth in line. I am very caring, reliable, patient, organized, and great with multitasking.

I've also previously had 7 nannying jobs and lots of babysitting for our neighbors children. I absolutely love children and pets, :) and hoping for a full time and longer term job.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Lexie. I am a starting at UMD as a biology student and one day hope to become a neurosurgeon. I love being outside, having fun with my family and friends, reading, and kids! I have never actually babysat/nannied for anyone to get paid, but I have done it a lot for free. That is because I just love children! Also, I have two brothers that are younger than I. A lot of the time I would end up babysitting them for when my parents would go out or when they were busy with my older brother. I am responsible, punctual, friendly, active, hard-working, fast learning, and eager to please.
