Hello! I was previously a teacher assistant for 3-6 year olds for a total of 3 years before moving on to bcome a Nanny for twin infants and a 4 year old. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have cared for newborns- 13 year olds. I really enjoy cooking , baking, crafts, and the occasional science experiment. With a passion for providing nurturing care and a proven track record of creating a safe and stimulating environment for children, I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your family.

Kids loved her. House was still clean after watching several small children for multiple hours.
