A little bit about me

I have been babysitter and caretaker since I was a teenager, I have been CPR, AED, and first aid certified. I was a first responder so I know how to keep my cool in any emergency.
I worked for a daycare around 2007-08 and received multiple certifications and was lead teacher in the infants room, I’m very easy going and gentle, I love doing crafts and reading.
Over the years I have tended to children aged infant to 17. I enjoy helping children learn new things; explore their world and teaching them valuable life lessons and assisting in then finding themselves as well as their own happiness.

I’ll happily cook, clean and do laundry. I have a knack for organizing as well
