I have been a care giver since I was a child myself, I started around age 11 babysitting for my younger cousins and children around the neighborhood. It just stuck with me, I did take some early childhood classes in college since I was thinking about becoming a teacher but schooling became too much and I kept finding more work as a nanny and decided to be a career nanny/sitter/house manager. I have strong references, experience with special needs, experience with multiples, and have cared for children from newborn into their teens. I am also an animal lover so I'm extremely comfortable with pets! I currently do not have my own car but I take public transit and ride shares everywhere. I do have a valid drivers license and clean driving record if you have a family car you would like me to use while on the job. I am Read more very reliable and rarely call off unless I am extremely ill. I have truly loved my work as a nanny and enjoy coming to work every day. I have found what I love doing with my life and I plan to continue for as long as possible! I'm currently available full time as my last job has just come to an end.
