Find experienced babysitters in Banner Elk, NC

Hi everyone! My name is Kendra and I am a Biology graduate student and lab instructor at Appalachian State University! I am completing my master’s degree in the spring (May), also teach general biology classes, and I am looking for a nanny job shortly before/after my graduation! I have 2-3 years of babysitting experience, 10 years pet sitting experience. My rate may be higher than some folks to compensate for my education! I (nearly) have a master’s degree in biology, as well as a BS, and a minor in psychology. I have research experience in both areas that give me extensive knowledge on health, first aid, safety procedures, education, phenomenal homework help for all ages, conflict resolution, teaching skills, and and many other skills that make me the perfect, safest person to trust with your little ones! The reason I am looking to be a nanny, is as mentioned above I do biology research and after completing my master’s degree, I plan on going to PhD school to pursue STEM education as I am incredibly passionate about getting young kids excited about science and math! If any of this sounds interesting to you, I’d love to speak with you and answer and questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you!
