Summary

Hi! My name is Halie. I am 19 years old and I currently live in Waverly Iowa. I’ve always had the drive to work with either kids or animals. I started work at a vet clinic as a vet assistant in Oklahoma, before I moved to Iowa. I loved it! I then continued my passion for animals working at Budreau vet clinic while working at my uncle dairy farm on the side. During that time I moved in with my cousin Abbi who had her son Boston! Being with Boston and watching him made me realize my love and patience for kids. During that time I was responsible for helping out with Boston as I was also babysitting for other families on the side. I then realized that being with kids is what I enjoyed the most. I became a full-time nanny for a great family of 6 starting in May 2024. I love doing fun activities and bringing out my inner child while caring for yours!
