A little bit about me

I am an experienced caregiver with an immense love for children. I have a bachelors degree in speech-language pathology and neuroscience, as well as a masters degree in human biology, and hope to pursue a research career in neurodevelopment. I have volunteered, worked, and lived with kids throughout my life, and started babysitting at 12 years old. I have worked in a daycare center servicing infants to preschoolers, as well as an elementary school in the first and third grades. I volunteered most of my time throughout high school and my college summers in an elementary classroom with kids on the autism spectrum, which serviced ages 5 through 12 in their program. I am a caring individual and have been told my entire life that I'm a magnet for children, and it has given me some of my greatest joys to work with them as much as I have.
