Having grown up in a large family, I enjoy the occasional (sometimes constant) chaos that comes when working with young children. I have over 4 years of experience as a nanny and child aid, and recently completed my certification in CPR. I am passionate about providing quality, educational, and fun care to kids! Watching kids shouldn't be about simply sitting them in front of a TV to keep them entertained. My philosophy for childcare involves educational games and engaging them in story time to encourage their creativity and growth. My experience ranges from state-paid assistance to foster families with disabled children to a live-in nanny for a family with 4 kids. My experience working with kids ranges from infants to 10 year-olds. I am also comfortable with doing light housework, meal prep, and laundry if needed. I recently moved to the Nashville area from Grand Rapids, Michigan, for an unpaid Read more internship at a local non-profit. My hours of availability are after school weekdays and evenings, and any weekends.
