About Mahagany

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, my name is Mahagany! I've worked with children from the ages infant to 12 years old. I started out by watching/babysitting children at the ages of 10-12 years old. I was babysitting my little cousins then eventually began babysitting for family friends and neighbors around the neighborhood. Throughout that time I decided professionally work in the child care field. I have been doing this for 9 going on 10 years now! I chose to work with children because they're fun, curious and adventurous, they also are very loving, that's another reason why I love watching them! A plus/ fun fact about me is that I actually teach and care for children! Another plus is that I can quickly get your child potty trained! I am CPR/ first aid certified. I have my CDA ( Child Development Associates) credential, in addition to that, I am currently in school working to receive my Early Childhood Education associates degree.
