A little bit about me
Hi! I'm a recent graduate with a BA in Studio Art and Philosophy. As the oldest of 4, I've been taking care of young children for as long as I can remember! With experience sitting, tutoring, and teaching abroad, I'm sure to take the best care of your little ones. I can help with homework and online schooling, housekeeping, cooking, and playtime! I'm also very COVID conscious, so the safer the environment the better!
