I am a Senior at Shenandoah University, where I play lacrosse and study Psychology, hoping to become a NICU/ pediatric nurse or a speech-language pathologist. I love kids and enjoy being active and being outside as well as cooking and baking. I have been both a nanny and an occasional babysitter for about 5 years. I also have dog sat as well as cat sat. I am also experienced in senior care, as I cared for my grandmother and did 40 hours of clinicals in a senior living center.
