A little bit about me

I’m Lily! I’ve worked in childcare off and on basically my whole life. I’m very familiar with the intricacies of childcare, and I pride myself on being able to handle even the most difficult kids. I aim to ensure first and foremost the child feels comfortable around me and likes me, and from there I am able to build a solid relationship with mutual respect. I especially enjoy elementary and middle school aged children!

*I believe my CPR/First Aid certification is expired but I plan to renew it before starting any job!*
