Hi, I am 25 years old and have been happily married for 2 1/2 years. I studied Secondary Education at Grand Canyon University before deferring in 2016 to move back home to Maryland where I then met my now husband. I love kids and I have been babysitting since I was 11 when I asked my mother to enroll me in a babysitting seminar that included first aid training and became Safe Sitter certified. I personally have 10 nieces and nephews ranging from 3 to 15 and we try to be as actively involved in their lives as much as we can. I became a nanny in high school by doing after school care for a family and continued nannying for two separate families while I went to college at GCU in Phoenix. When I moved back home I continued to nanny for another family for 2 years. I have Read more volunteered at numerous day camps and overnight summer camps over the years. Even while in college I helped with an outreach program called Canyon Kids where I led the teen group. My husband and I were actively involved in our previous churches youth ministry as well. As for certification, I have had several background checks done as well as having an Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card from when I was studying at GCU. While there I also completed several practicums within schools. Therefore, I have experience with children from 2 months old all the way to 18 years of age. I truly hope that I can be of help and service to you and your family!
