Experience: 7 yrs
I have 7 years of experience. I can help with Travel and Cooking/Meal Preparation. I have been watching kids since I was 14 years old I try and make sure that they have a fun time during the duration of my stay and finish any other tasks that they have to do. I'm a life guard and swim instructor so water is not a problem for me. I do go to school as well I am trying to be a nurse so that is a big priority for me as well. I have been nannying for like 2 years now and have worked with many ages ranging from 2 months - 14-year-olds. I love watching kids grow and seeing how their personalities mold into what makes them who they are. I try and make sure that the kids aren't on screen time all the time (if allowed) and try to keep them engaged in games that are appropriate for their interests and ages.

Grace has been watching my 16 month old twins,2-3 days a week, for a few months along with my 3 and 5 year old one day/week. She is very dependable, sweet, and easy going. My twins do have a tough time when I leave, but they always warm up within a few minutes of me being gone, or going downstairs (I work from home) and are always in happy moods when I get back. I know they are in good hands with Grace and it takes a lot for me to trust people with watching my children!
