Hi! I am a fun and detailed oriented individual with a passion for child care. I am the second oldest of 5 girls, so not much scares me when it comes to kids! I started nannying when I was 15, but most recently I worked at a private preschool. For the past three years I was the lead teacher of a 4 and 5 year old classroom. During the other 3 years I worked for them, I served as an assistant and worked with all preschool ages (infants, toddlers). Currently I am taking some time off from teaching to finish up school, but have some additional time for babysitting. I am CPR certified, and MAT certified which means I was approved to give medicine and administer EPI Pens at my school. I love working with kids, and am happy to talk more if you have any further questions!
