Hiii! I’m Mo! My love for youth development and early childhood development started very young. I raised my 4 younger siblings and, unlike the average preteen, I enjoyed it. I began babysitting in high school and then went on to become a full time nanny while studying for my undergraduate degree. Since, I have successfully worked for a number of families. I am also CPR/AED/First Aid Certified. In my years with youth, I have successfully given a child CPR and saved their life. Outside of the 'super professional' things, I am a wonderful individual to be around. I believe in education based activities, as well as anything that parent is interested in me doing. I pride myself on my art, so crafts will be a huge part of each day and will help shaker children develop coordination and different motor skills. I cook healthy meals and I understand how to Read more run a dishwasher as well as a washing machine haha. I hope that after reading this, you will consider having a chat with me about sitting for you. Much much love! Best, Mo
