  About Me
 
I am currently a nanny for twin 3 1/2 year old boys and a 14 month old little girl whom I enjoy tremendously. Unfortunately my husband's company is moving us to Fort Collins, Colorado and I must seek a new job there. I am a fun, outgoing and a caring person, who adores children of all ages. I especially watching younger children grow and learn new things everyday. I enjoy being creative and finding fun age appropriate activities for both inside and outside when the weather permits. I come from a large family, and am the oldest of 4 children. It depends on the age of the child and what the parent's preferences are.
