A little bit about me

Hello!! My name is Josie. I am 20 years old. I am a Christian. I am also engaged, and getting married March 21, 2025. I absolutely love working with kids. Lord willing, it’s my dream to be a mother some day I’ve always grown up babysitting my younger siblings, neighbors, family friends, etc. My first ever job I worked at a Kumon in Yorba Linda where I would spend my time helping kids with any struggles they had with school work. I love to be a safe place for the kids, and my goal is to always see a smile on their faces. More recently I worked at a day care. I was there for about 9 months, and I absolutely adored that place. I was mainly in the infant and toddler room, but sometimes also worked all the way up to 6th graders. At the day care I did circle time, play time, nap time, art time, lunch time, and of course changed diapers. My favorite part about it though was making the kids feel loved. Making sure they were having a great day while being away from home.
