A little bit about me

Hello!! I have been babysitting and nannying for around 10 years and I have loved every moment with every child I have gotten to hang out with. Additionally I worked at a children’s theatre for 2 years back in Texas where I’m from teaching musical theatre Voice to 8-12 year olds, taught English online to Chinese children, served as an intern for two separate children’s theatres, and am always looking for a chance to meet more kids and inspire creativity. I love going for walks, playing at the park, doing arts and crafts, learning new things and just having a fantastic time. Recently I watched two two year olds and we had a nice schedule we liked to keep so that when Dad came home, everything was on track for them to sleep through the night, and do it all again the next day. If you have any questions at all please message me and let me know. Thank you so much!
