A little bit about me

Hello! I have over ten years experience in childcare with boys and girls of every age (1 month old - 18 years) I have an A.A. in Elementary Education and a 4 year degree. I am looking for a position with a newborn that would start in fall 2021. I will be a new mother, so I am looking for a position where the family would be willing for me to bring my newborn as well.
