I am a certified educator taking some time off from educating to stay home with my 2 daughters (3 and 9 months). I have an undergraduate degree in elementary education and my Master's degree in educational leadership. I have 5 years experience teaching grades K-2. I have organized and cared for groups of children as large as 30, on and off school grounds. Throughout the last 3 years being home with my kiddos I have been babysitting and nannying for families. These children have ranged in age from newborn-4 years old. We have been able to enjoy fun days at the park, the children's museum, aquarium and much more! I have been working with children in some capacity for 10 years, have my own reliable transportation, clean driving record, a home in a very safe neighborhood, have previously completed a background check to work for county schools, and love children. I have dedicated my life and profession to children and only have their best interest at heart. I would be willing to complete an updated background check and a refresher CPR course if so desired. :) If you are looking for part-time care (especially on James Island) please contact me at jillysey3@yahoo.com Thanks! Jill :)
