I’m a full time nanny and am new to the area. I don’t have a lot of “weekend families” here so I’m trying to find some families to work with to fill up my weekends and days off! I have over 8 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, cheerleading and gymnastics coach, swim instructor, and am currently in classes pursuing a kinesiology major with an early childhood education minor! I also love pets and have experience dog walking and pet sitting!
