I love cooking, baking, reading, spending time with my family, music, and travel! At 16, I had to opportunity to babysit a 1 year old until he was about 4. I did so at least twice a month but sometimes multiple days a week! My favorite thing about kids is their genuine curiosity and questions about the world around them! I love finding fun and different ways to explain or approach the newness kids encounter almost every day in their environment.
