A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Caleigh, and I have several years of experience working with children ages 3–10 as both a dance teacher and a camp counselor. I love working with kids and creating safe, supportive environments where they feel comfortable being themselves. My favorite part of working with kids is getting to see them build genuine friendships, but I also love watching a shy child come out of their shell and gain confidence while having fun.
