A little bit about me

Hello! My name is An and I attended Classen School of Advanced Studies as an International Baccalaureate Major. I like to stay organized and staying on my feet. I have a passion for cooking and traveling. I love children almost as much as they love me. I am very optimistic, bubbly and can keep kids active with fun activities or be laid back with a good book and a picnic. I now currently do online school to stay covid friendly! Ive had past babysitting experience that lasted three years (when the child no longer needed care) and miss my old family dearly, however I have moved to San Diego as of early August. I love teaching kids new things and having a blast too!
