Karmyn $12 per hour for 1 child

I have been working as a nanny/babysitter for the past four years, providing care for children of various ages on an occasional and ongoing basis, typically for family member or close family friends. My experience includes everything from managing daily routines and homework help to preparing meals and organizing fun, educational activities. I am a nursing student at TAMUCC which makes me certified in CPR and First Aid, which equips me with the skills to handle emergencies with confidence and ensure the safety and well-being of the children under my care. As a nursing student, I am dedicated to ensuring the safety of children around me. I take pride in creating a nurturing, fun, and structured environment, and I’m committed to being a dependable, compassionate caregiver. My career goal is pediatric nursing, so I love caring for children in all shapes and forms. In my free time I enjoy reading, cooking or baking and spending time with my family. I am originally from Houston, Texas
