Hi everyone! I live in the North University / Hyde Park area. I currently work at the American Cancer Society but am interested in becoming a nanny for a family in my neighborhood. A little about me: I moved to Austin from Portland, Oregon with my husband Dan for him to attend graduate school at UT. We met in undergraduate and both have our bachelors' degrees in Psychology. He is currently getting his PhD in Health Education and Promotion. I have been working at American Cancer Society since living in Austin but would love the opportunity to nanny for a family. We are planning on starting a family within the next year or two so it would be a great experience. We have four sweet dogs and own a house in Hyde Park. Some of my passions are gardening, hiking, reading, making art, and working out. I will be a Read more good fit for a family who wants their kiddos to spend time outside and doing activities. I live an active lifestyle and am also very creative-so I'd love to have art / craft time. I'm open to any age and am also open to a couple or a few children. I love babies and kids. In high school / early college I would watch my friend's son with cerebral paulsy and have experience working with special needs. My hours are flexible and I don't mind additional hours helping out when needed. Thanks for reading!
