I am a dependable nanny who has been with the same family for over a year and a half. I love children, gardening, and cooking. I currently work part-time babysitting from 2:30 pm-5:30 pm and at the greenhouse on the weekends when they have kids' events. I am looking for an early morning job Monday- Friday, full-time from 4:00 am/6:00 am - 2:00 pm. I am hard-working and love a good challenge, which is why I want to get back into the food industry.
