I have experience providing care for children ranging from newborns to 7 years old in both paid and volunteer settings. My responsibilities included feeding, diapering, and maintaining consistent routines for infants, as well as supervising play, assisting with homework, and supporting early learning for older children. I prioritized creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment while encouraging positive behavior and social development. Through this experience, I have developed strong patience, communication skills, and the ability to adapt to the individual needs of children at different developmental stages.

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.
