I would love to find jobs where I can really help out a family with their childcare needs while providing trustworthy care! That could include running errands, pickup drop offs, activity time, and pretty much anything under the sun! I have always loved working with kids and babies especially! I am currently in school for nursing and hope to end up in the neonatal unit ! Caring for others has always been a huge passion of mine. Being able to bring joy and make a difference in someone's life is one of the greatest feelings for me!
