A little bit about me...I am 26 years old working full time as a case manager in social work. I have an extensive history of working with kids. I am currently a Big Sister volunteering through Big Brother Big Sisters for a 7-year-old girl. Before I moved to Maine 2 years ago, I lived in Vermont where I nannied for a family with 2 boys; 4-year-old and an 8-year-old and throughout my undergrad I babysat 5 days per week for a family with 3 kids. I also used to work at a residential facility for mothers struggling with substance abuse whose children lived at the center. I also nannied for a family for one summer after college with 4 kids, all under 8 which was a lot of fun. I am hoping to quit my job once I can secure a babysitting/nannying position for the summer as I will be Read more attending grad school this fall. I am flexible and can work days, evenings, weekends and overnights. I also love animals so I am comfortable around all pets. I have my own car and live in downtown Portland. I am a very fun loving, warm person who is patient, responsible and just good with kids. I also love spending time outside, am very active, love to cook and read. Please let me know if you have any questions.
