Hi wonderful humans! I recently moved to MN from MI to further continue my schooling. I am going for my Masters in Social Work. I currently have a Bachelors in Social Work with a focus on child and teen mental health and development. I have been babysitting and overseeing childcare since I was 11 years old. I love creating a safe and welcoming space for kids to grow and learn. I currently work full time as a case manager. I work from home and have an incredibly flexible schedule. I would love the opportunity to meet with you and your family to further discuss my goals and passion for nannying!
