I have been involvedΒ in childcare for many years now, from having 6 younger cousins (min. of 6 years younger than me) and a baby brother who is 14 years younger than me, to babysitting for families through high school and college and working in an after-school care program. I have been working in sports since I graduated college in 2021 and that also involves a lot of interaction with different types of people and lots of children. I just got married and am looking for a bit of a change of pace, and have always loved being around children. I am also CPR and AED certified. I take childcare very seriously and am very trustworthy and responsible, as I know how it feels to put your trust into someone regarding your kiddos (because I'm basically like a second mom to my younger brother).

Hi! My name is Jackie and here's a little about me. I'm a sophomore in college currently majoring in psychology with a chance for history education. I've been babysitting/nannying for the past year or so but prior to that I lifeguarded and taught swim lessons for 3+ years. Personality wise, I'm outgoing and funny (or at least I think I am), with safety always being my number one concern. I also can drive, don't smoke and I am AED/CPR/First Aid certified. In terms of specialized experience, I have a gluten allergy (celiacs) so I take allergies very seriously as well.
