I am hardworking, reliable, and able to multi-task. Offering years of experience caring for and managing children and their needs. I started as a babysitter that evolved into a full time caretaker position for 4 little girls. Eventually I took a position as a full time Private Nanny for twin newborn boys. I maintained a nurturing and active lifestyle with activates and at home education while they were toddlers. I can multi-task, organize and maintain a schedule. Once I had children of my own I did the same thing for them. I am a mother of three with a seven year old, and twin soon to be five year olds. Now that my children are school age I am seeking to re-enter the workforce.
