I love children. I was a stay at home Mom while my 31 and 32 yr. old sons were little. I then taught pre-kindergarden when they were in school all day. I also coached track and volleyball for their school, as well as Sunday school two times a month. Working with children is a gift I have been given and would love to work with your children. Thank you🌷
