A little bit about me

I have been a mom for 28 years . So I . have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers and kids of all ages and I also spent three years babysitting a A four-year little -old girl Who has down syndrome. At that time, I thought I knew there was everything to know about being a mother, but she taught me so much more and truly opened my eyes up to a whole New World when it comes to children. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach.I. I am also very comfortable with animals as well
