Hi! I’m Hannah. I’ve gained strong childcare experience by regularly taking care of my two siblings, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep kids safe and entertained. Along with that, I also provide paid childcare for my cousins and a family from facebook who I watch every wednesday, where I help with activities, routines, meals, and general supervision.
