Jackie $21 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Jackie and I have my teaching degree from SUNY Cortland and am certified in Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education. I'm currently pursuing my masters in Early Childhood Literacy from LIU. I'm looking for a fulfilling role as a nanny and to help children grow and prosper! I am very active and love to do activities such as crafts, sports, games, and whatever else their interests are. I have many years of experience with kids from having worked in schools, a daycare, and babysitting from a young age. My most recent role was in a primary school so my heart loves the little ones, but I really enjoy all ages! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out :)
