Hey! My name is Morgan and I am a college student at the University of St. Thomas. I love to be around kids and would love to make a connection with yours:) I am majoring in elementary education and run on the cross country and track teams at UST. I love to be outdoors, go on bike rides, go shopping and spend time with others.I am currently nannying for a family this summer but am looking for an occasional gig during the school year, weekends or weeknights that would be able to work around my class and practice schedule. My duties include laundry, dishes, cleaning up the house, keeping the kids entertained and having fun! I also have previous babysitting experience for multiple families throughout high school in my hometown and I would be happy to give you references if needed. I am CPR, first aid and lifeguard certified as well. If this sounds like a fit let me know and I would love to talk more!

Hi!🎉✨❤️ Ever since high school I’ve found myself having so much fun being around kids and through my different experiences being in different environments, I realized that it’s where I shine a lot. I naturally am super playful and when mixed with kids I’m even more playful having a lot of fun being with them. I get exposed to their curiosity, their play, their imagination and it sparks a lot of that in me too. It’s been an adventure being with so many kids because it’s never the same kind of experience. I knew and still know that one of my gifts is working with kids. It’ll always be an instant pull for me in my life. I’ve had a lot of exposure working with kids from pre k-12th grade in different settings such as the Boys & Girls Club, camps, the homework help center at a few libraries, and volunteer places. However me being the oldest of 3 younger siblings has also taught me a lot too along with my own experiences with my infant, toddler cousins. With that it’s also led me to work with families that I have. Rather it be full time, part time, occasionally or for one time. I’ve gotten the opportunity to build genuine connections and lasting memories as I witness the growth and development of the kids I’ve watched. Each it’s own unique experience. I’m passionate about what I do as I live passionately in my own life committed to my own continuous growth. I’m a very bubbly, vibrant, responsible, respectful, open minded, kind, caring, loving, compassionate, family orientated and resilient person. Kids are amazing, curious, playful and we can definitely learn from them as well. I find their playfulness as well as curiosity to be so joyful to see and experience. I feel grateful to just work with kids in any way, but also connecting with them and you the parent(s) really matter to me too. Fun fact, I have been flown twice by an awesome family playing a important role being with their kiddos so they can take care of the pumpkin patch they’ve been in charge of who I still in am contact with today. They were looking for a unicorn and I confidently said that’s me, a unicorn! 😆🎉 Safety, trust, and communication are meaningful things for me when working with families. I look forward to talking more with you.
