$22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Anna, I’m from a small town in North Carolina, and I thoroughly enjoy working with children of all ages. I’ve recently finished my Bachelor’s degree in history, and have worked as a part-time nanny during the summer months to pay my tuition costs and everyday needs. Some of my favorite hobbies include visiting museums, reading, traveling, and caring for my cat, Archie! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have!
