A little bit about me

I recently graduated from James Madison University with a bachelor's degree in International Affairs and German. As I explore the next step in my career, I know one thing for certain—I love working with young people and helping inspire the next generation.

Over the years, I have gained valuable experience babysitting children ages 6–12, creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where they can learn, grow, and have fun. I am dependable, punctual, kind, and trustworthy, and I strive to bring enthusiasm, positivity, and a fun energy into every space I enter. I enjoy building meaningful connections with children and take pride in being someone they can trust and look up to.
