Hi! I’m Morgan and I’d love to get to know you are your kids! I have been working with kids for several years, teaching swim lessons throughout high school and during college, and also sitting during college. I currently am a junior at Butler University and am studying Psychology and Sociology.During my free time, I enjoy spending time outside in any way, arts and crafts, reading, and spending time with friends and family. In the past I have been involved in swimming, tennis, volleyball, and waterpolo so I do enjoy being active.The reason I decided to start babysitting is because I want to be able to make a lasting impact on kids and be an example they can look up to, but also someone they can trust while they learn more about themselves and the world.
