I am a fun, reliable, creative, and responsible college educated mother with years of experience caring for children. I have worked with children of all ages, from being a nanny for almost 7years, babysitting other infants with my daughter, being a mom to a very active and strong willed 10 year old, and 7 years as a preschool teacher before and after I had my daughter. I love interacting with kids on their level. I consider a child's safety, both physical and psychological to be my top priority. I have lots of experience with food allergies due to my daughter’s severe food allergies and have administered an epipen, know how to read food labels, and can prepare safe food for children. I am CPR and first aid certified. Thanks for reading!
