Hello! I have worked with children of all ages in a professional setting. I have helped friends and family members care for their children for over 10 years with the most recent being a 2 month old infant. I had a job working with children with disabilities in a group home from 2018-2020 and became a full time nanny from 2020-2021. My nanny duties included assisting with online schooling, preparing meals, light housework, and afterschool and outdoor activities! I started nursing school in 2022, but that did not stop me from taking occasional and part time jobs. I enjoy cleaning, organizing, and various household tasks. I can bake, cook meals, and meal prep for various age groups. I will be graduating Carlow University in May of 2025 with a Bachelors Degree in nursing. Going to nursing school has helped me build exceptional childcare skills and recognizing the needs of children Read more during each developmental stage. I currently work for the VA hospital so my clearances and certifications are up to date. I am CPR certified, and trained in both adult and infant basic first aid. I have my own vehicle which is reliable for transportation and I am comfortable with pets (cats or dogs). My favorite part of working with children is helping them learn and grow!
