A little bit about me

I truly enjoy working with the parents to take care of their little ones while they had date nights, work, or just some well deserved rest. I was a kindergarten TA for 1 year and I absolutely adored it. Taking care of 28 six year olds was a lot of work but truly one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. My time at the day care I worked out was such a joy and working with the little babies all the way to the older kids just made me realize what a joy it really is to work with young children. I love being silly and making them laugh as well as explore their creativity with them in creating fun games we can play for hours. I also have worked with kids in libraries and bookstores so I have a vast amount of experience in story times and arts and crafts. I'm very clean and clean up after myself and make sure to tidy the space after I'm done. I'm good with fur babies as well, and really enjoy seeing how to interact with kids as it is the sweetest thing.
