A little bit about me

I grew up in a home with many infants/toddlers all my life. Taking care of kids have been a big experience in my upbringing. Due to the history of babysitting in my family, I started to enjoy it more and gain more experience the past 7-8 years with kids outside of my family. Even today, I have plenty of references to share. I enjoy watching children grow - mentally, physically, and emotionally in this world. Love being apart of helping parents out when needed.
