Hello! I am38 years old and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration. I’ve spent the last 12 years working as a manager for different warehouse facilities, mainly IKEA and Trader Joe’s. My brother and sister-in-law had my niece 3 years ago and my nephew 2 years ago and I started watching them full time while there was no COVID daycare in existence. Since then, I’ve been told by nearly everyone that I am a naturally nurturing and it just makes me feel so much more present in life while teaching and watching a child learn/experience things for the first time. There is nothing like it, so heartwarming! I also have two step-children from my first marriage that I helped raise and they are 16 and 18 now- boy how time flies!!! Any other questions, feel free to ask! I am CPR certified, I do not smoke but I do Read more have 2 fluffy corgis and one weenie dog so there’s bound to be dog hair somewhere!
