I'm a senior in college. I currently work for a nanny agency in Portland and love getting to know all types of families as well as children of all ages. I worked for years with my church babysitting, teaching, and being a leader for day camps! Before leaving for college I worked at a daycare & preschool where I cared for children ages 1-6, entertained them, and made meals! I also cared weekly for 4 years for a child with special medical needs from infancy to age 4. I am CPR and first aid certified through American Heart Association. I absolutely love babies and young children. I am currently in nursing school and I find it both educational and a stress reliever to be around youngsters! I love thinking of fun activities, helping with homework, pets, cleaning, or anything else that would be of service to your family. I started Read more working with children out of sheer love for it, and I hope to carry that passion into my future career as a nurse.
