A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Adriana. I am 25 years old and i am a single mother to a 1 1/2 year old little boy. I ENJOY working with kids and have been a at home babysitter straight out of high school in 2016. I stopped being a babysitter in 2019 to attend cosmetology school. In October of 2021 I started a new job in Los Alamos at a childcare center where my son also attended when he was 3 months old. There I was a teacher assistant for 9 months until i decided to become a lead teacher for ages 1-3 1/2 years old. I love kids and enjoy being apart of their childhood and seeing them excel! My family would always call me a baby whisper because i somehow had the "magic" touch to help them calm down or the kids enjoyed being around me.
