Just a simple girl with a passion for kids and a lot of love to give! I have worked in childcare since I was old enough to babysit, received my assistant childcare teacher certification in high school, worked at two different daycares for 5+ years in ages ranging from newborn-3yoβs, and nannied for many families in-between. I now work full time in the music industry, but am in a slow season and am trying to pick up some extra work to help pay for my wedding, so why not do that by going back to my roots and doing something I love! I promise to love and take care of your children like they were my own, and am here for what ever you need to make your life easier.
