A little bit about me
I have had seven years of child experience. I started babysitting when I was 12 for a family of five and have branched out to different families in my church and in the community around us. I recently had a job at a daycare where I was CPR certified and first aid certified. I have seven siblings, me being the oldest at 19 and the youngest at just over 15 months. I love children and being around them. I am going to Cornerstone University for a degree for early childhood and am hoping to teach somewhere from preschool to second grade. I would love something more full time during the summer.

A little bit about me
Hi there! I've recently graduated with my degree in Psychology and I am eager to lend support to families and children as we continue to navigate these unprecedented times. For Covid concerns, I live alone with my dog and have been very diligent in adhering to social-distancing/mask-wearing guidelines, and have just received my second dose of the covid vaccine!
A little more about me, I have happily worked with children for several years in a variety of settings. I've been a substitute teacher for the last 2 years (elementary and middle-school age), a volunteer support tutor for refugee children, as well as work experience in mental health on the adolescent unit. I've always had a strong care-taking personality that I get from my lovely mother, from sitting to cleaning, household chores, and cooking! I know it can be challenging and daunting to find the right sitter so I am more than happy to answer any questions that will help you feel more comfortable. : )
