A little bit about me

My name is McKenzie I am from Cranston, Rhode Island. I'm 21 years old and I'm a senior at the University of Rhode Island. I mostly stay home because all of my classes are online, so I haven't been exposed to anyone except for my parents. I am extremely cautious whenever I do go anywhere. I have around 9 years of babysitting experience. My most recent nanny position was for my sister's kids. She works full time so I would take them from 8 am-5 pm Monday-Friday. I was her nanny for 6 years. They are now 2 years old and 6 years old. I began working for them when their first child was only 1 month old. I have also done distance learning with the 6 year old. Their parents are now laid off so they do not need me anymore. I am available full time and whenever you need me to start. I am also very flexible with hours so if you ever need me for an extra day or if you need to extend the hours one day, that is completely fine with me.
