I am a married 27 year old female living in Grand Rapids. I have lived here for about 10 years. I moved to GR from the east side of the state to go to Aquinas College, and then transferred to Grand Valley where I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Social Work. I am now working on my master's degree in social work at Western in Grand Rapids. I worked for 5 1/2 years for Hope Network in a group home with developmentally disabled adults. I recently left that job and had my first baby. I am hoping to find a position where I can bring her with me. I love working with kids, and find that they usually warm up to me well. I am very friendly and responsible. I was a child care worker in a daycare for about 4 years, and I have done odd babysitting and Read more nannying off and on since I was in middle school. I am comfortable with any age range, but have most experience with 0-10 year olds. I have current CPR certification and have also recently taken an infant and child CPR course through Spectrum Health.
