  About Me
 
I am a 27 year old Austin native who moved to Houston about a year ago after getting married. I currently work part-time as a personal trainer (7-1 pm) and still have plenty of energy to work in the afternoons. I undertad the importance or routines and sleep schedules for babies and have read the book Baby Wise, which my two sisters swear by.

I am from a family of six kids and have had many different jobs working with children including being a gymnastics coach, nanny, and spending lots of unpaid hours loving my nieces and nephews. I have a B. S. in Exercise Science from BYU and a M. S. in Global Health and Public Policy from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. My hobbies include cooking, cycling, running and traveling with my family.

My strengths as a nanny are that I am patient, reliable, hardworking, and promise to take the absolute best care of your child and love them as if they were one of my own nieces or nephews.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
2 years experience, 0 references
Most of my childcare experience comes from caring for two of my nephews. My sister has almost always lived in the same city as me and I have spent many days and hours helping her with her little ones. Whether it was taking them to the park, children's museums, or watching the baby so she could get some one on one time with the older sibling, I feel confident that I can handle any situation that arises.

While in high school and post graduate school, I held various nannying jobs for kids of all different ages.
