A little bit about me

After my little sister was born back in 2018 I've basically been a babysitter. I've taken care of her like she's my own daughter. Besides my little sister I was an intern in highschool working with the Pre-K/kindergarten aged children throughout my senior year gaining valuable childcare experience. I hope to be able to create fun activities while caregiving for families, whether for nights out or just general "days off."
