  About Me
 
Hello. My name is Callie. I am 22 years old and have recently moved to New York. I graduated from Central Michigan University this past August and now have a Bachelors of Social Work degree with a minor in Youth Studies. I have a large passion for working with children and have had lots of experiences doing so in a variety of settings. I have a very energetic, goofy, and active personality. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, being outdoors, reading, and cooking. I take the work that I do very seriously and will dedicate myself 110 percent as a nanny to a loving family. You can trust that your children will be safe with me as I have lots of experience caring for children and am CPR/First Aid certified. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
