A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Kaitlin and I am currently working as a registered nurse at a family practice office. Right now I am seeking a career change and am looking for a steady nannying job. I have always loved working directly with children and held a few childcare jobs while in nursing school at a local YMCA and church while the parents were at the service. My most recent job experiences with children are mostly from a medical standpoint such as administering vaccines, completing telephone assessments and providing home care advice to parents. I am open to part time or full time work and currently have no restrictions on work hours.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to set up a time to chat!
