Eventually I became a live in Nanny and have been ever since. After a year of working for this family I was asked to be the children's God Mother. I have helped raise these children since they were 21 months and 6 weeks old, and have done everything from bottle feeding and changing diapers to helping potty train and homework. This family has trusted me to rise their kids and help instill wholesome values for 5+ years. I am a positive and loving self made Nanny, Photographer, Health Guru, and Retail Manager. In high school I discovered my love for art and photography and had my own thriving photography business by the age of 15. I have worked with numerous children through my job as an optician giving pre-exams and helping pick out glasses. Currently I am a Manager at Claires and my favorite part of the job is piercing ears and making my customers feel like queens and kings. I am moving to Charleston with my significant other and instead of sticking with retail I am pursing my greater love. Taking care of children. I am excited to embark on this fulfilling path of being an official full time Nanny. Another thing I am very passionate about is health; physical, mental and spiritual. My goal within the next year is to go to school and become a nutritionist. I believe in eating right, exercise, positive mindsets and living up to your fullest potential. I feel extremely blessed to be able to share my love of children with another special family. I am an open book and would love to answer any questions you may have.       Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status:   Religion/Spiritual Practice:         Work Experience & Education Background   5 years experience, 3 references I first started out as a babysitter at the age of 15 for a family friend. I babysat a 5 year old girl 3-5 times a week up until she was 7 years old. I took care of her at my place for up to 10 hours a day. I fed her three meals a day plus snacks. I also occasionally picked her up from school and babysat her at her house when requested. We had all sorts of fun watching movies, going for nature walks, and drawing and coloring all afternoon. I loved coming up with seasonal crafts to make for her to keep or give to her family. We frequently baked together and had our own cooking show that we recorded with an old camcorder. Our favorite thing to do was get dressed up and do photo shoots. With permission from her mom, this beautiful little girl became featured throughout my photography portfolio. I enjoyed helping her with her homework and all after school and summer projects. I stopped babysitting her when she was old enough to watch herself after school.
