A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Deikel and I'm currently studying to be a therapist! I've been working with kids since I was 15 and love it. I started by watching my younger brother and twin sisters, and then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, then crafts, reading, helping with homework, or any other activity is in my lane! In my free time, I love going for drives and listening to music, cooking and re-watching my fave sitcoms over and over!
