I'd describe my personality as kind, caring, and patient. I have a daughter who is now 15 years old and 3 dogs of my own.

I have experience with children of all ages, and also plenty experience with twins Starting at just 6 weeks old as I babysat my nieces full time while my sister worked for the first 5 years of their lives. Currently I am a nanny for 2 wonderful children, 1 infant and 1 toddler, on Thursdays and Fridays so I am unavailable these days but The rest of my schedule is open. I also have experience with children on the autism spectrum and with children with down syndrome due to helping care for a relative that required special care for medical issues and also requiring medication Read more to be given while in my care. I am CPR certified, am a non smoker, and have my own transportation. My skills include feeding, changing, bathing and playing with infants and small children.
