A little bit about me

Hello there! My name is Diana, and I am a Junior at Cal Poly SLO, majoring in Biology. I am pursuing a career in healthcare. I love working around children of all ages, and I love being a dependable, caring, and fun person in a child’s life. My experience babysitting started with my own baby brother (who is now a big boy - over 6 feet tall!) and it taught me how rewarding it can be to work with kids. I also love to be creative! Music and painting are some of my hobbies, and I used to help create art lesson plans for my mother’s preschool class!
