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.
