Hello my name is Karriemah. I’m a first year college graduate. I’m currently an infant teacher and I have been one for a year and a half now. Taking care of children is something that I’ve love doing since I was a kid myself. I’ve been an aunt since the age of 6 so just imagine a 6 year old changing and feeding a baby. That brought my love for children out right there. Being able to watch a child grow is something that’s always been amazing to me. They grow into their own person with all these different personalities it’s wonderful. I hope you can give me a shot at being your nanny. Trust me you won’t regret it. We’ll have an amazing time. Can’t wait to work with you!
