I am a recent college graduate beginning graduate school at Marymount University in the fall. I have a degree in neuroscience and psychology. During my undergraduate studies, I taught dance to children ranging in ages 3-15. I have plenty of experience babysitting children of all ages, as well as watching animals! I can provide multiple references upon request. I took classes in first aid and CPR before beginning my journey in childcare. I would like to work with children in my future and believe any opportunities would help me gain experience!
