Experience: 10 yrs
I'm open for date nights and side babysitting. I've been a nanny many years. I always make sure that the child/children feel comfortable. I am good at coming up with ideas and activities. I love to teach children new things, do crafts, and explore outdoor activities. Most of all, create amazing bonds. I want to be able to provide parents with comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones. CRP and First-Aid knowledgeable. Non-smoker. Pet friendly.
