A little bit about me

I started teaching children at church when I was 16 years old. I was a pre-school teacher for 2 years, infant teacher for 6 months, and a babysitter for 1 year. I just recently had a nanny job for 9 months. I had custody of my niece for a year as well as well. I adore children and I love to teach and help with school work. I know every child is different, and they all have different needs and I would love to help every child I come in contact with to know they are loved. I am patient and empathetic and I can provide a safe environment for children. I am CPR and first aid certified and I am fully vaccinated. I hope to work for you and your family!
