I'm a mother of two children myself but they are all grown up one of them is 35and the other one is 26I love to be around small children and having fun with them by making them smile I’m also a grandma to a 7year old granddaughter and a five year old granddaughter who I adore very much.
“Denise was very communicative, and even shared her location with us when she was en route to meet us at our hotel. She listened to our instructions and followed them exactly. Usually our daughter freaks out when we leave her with a new sitter, but the second time Denise watch her, she didn’t cry or fuss at all at drop-off, which is always a great sign. ”

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m currently in school for Medical Billing and Coding and working as a Pre-k Teacher’s Assistant. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, starting as a babysitter when I was 15. I have worked in the school system for over 5 years as an assistant for various grades and as a lead Pre-k teacher. I also have my bachelors from UCF in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I’m offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I’m just looking for something part time on the side to make some extra money while I’m in school. I look forward to meeting you!
