A little bit about me

Hi! I’m 19, almost 20, and I’ve always loved working with children. I was the designated babysitter in my family growing up, and kids naturally connect with me. I also worked at a very successful in-home daycare, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children in a fun and safe environment. I’m currently a college student-athlete pursuing my bachelor’s degree in psychology, which has helped me better understand child development and communication. I’m responsible, energetic, and truly enjoy helping kids learn and feel comfortable.
