I have been babysitting for almost eight years now. I have watched children ages newborn to 12 years old. I have been a nanny for twins before as well as caring for multiple children at a time. I am currently pursuing my education in elementary education. I have taught swim lessons for over six years and am lifeguard, CPR and first aid certified. I love being outdoors as well as doing creative play and crafts!
