I have been babysitting since I was a freshman in high school. I have six years paid nannying experience, and I am a certified teacher in Houston, Tx. I have experience caring for children ages infancy through teenage years. I understand the importance of making every child feel safe during a parents absence. I can assure any parent that I will provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for all children. I come with a CPR and First Aide certification. I also have an extensive background for caring for children with special needs (epilepsy, autism, food allergies etc. ).
