Hi! My name is Tracy , and I have my Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. I’m offering child care and household services and plan to continue my education to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Education. I have three years of experience as a nanny and plenty of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. My duties included school drop-offs and pick-ups, baths, meal prep, laundry, and fun outings to the park and other activities. Through caring for my younger siblings, I developed a strong passion for working with children. I especially love caring for babies and toddlers—it’s so rewarding to be part of their early growth and learning. I’ve worked as a Summer Youth Counselor and currently work as a Preschool Teacher Assistant. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and love planning creative activities like baking, drawing, and crafts. I’m caring, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every child.
