Hello! My name is Gerika Shakespeare, and I am currently attending Auburn University at Montgomery as an Elementary Education major. I am 21 years old, and outside school I work at AUM college of Nursing as a Nursing Student Assistant. I moved to Montgomery in 2024 for college, and I am interested in experiencing more outside of the regular workplace. I am looking for a job that works with my classes as my work schedule is flexible and can easily be changed. I am highly experienced with children as I have, off the record, worked with and babysat numerous children as well as my internship experience for college. I have babysat various disable children, and I am willing to learn anything to accommodate any child in my care. I hope that you will give me the opportunity and thank you for your time!
P.S. I must meet you and your child beforehand for my safety and yours!
