I am currently a planner at Houzz with a flexible night and weekend schedule. I have been babysitting since the age of 13 and have held jobs that require me to work with children. I have over 40 little cousins and I am always the on call babysitter. Many of my family members asked me to nanny their newborns during summers and winter breaks. I was a lifeguard for 7 years and a camp counselor for 4 years. I have been CPR, Lifeguard, and First Aid certified. I truly love working with kids. I find excitement and fun out of learning how they interact, enjoy themselves, and have fun.
