Hi, I was a childcare provider for 3 years servicing Military families. I’m a USMC veteran with education in early child development, and early child psychology. I have learned first aid, and CPR for all ages! I have a way with children and they are very fond of my cheery, bubbly personality. I have also provided nursing care to diabetics both elderly and young. I have learned and work with children with behavior issues, as well as autistic and mentally challenged children. I love to teach children and help them learn. I am available daily and can work full time. Any questions you have feel free to ask. I can also work with problematic children as well as keep them on the parents schedule. I am excited to start working as I really need a job. I’m also a Mother of a 17 year old.
