A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Bella! I have experience with kids from infants to pre-teens and have a love for art and the outdoors. I'm high energy and patient, allowing me to be on my feet for long amounts of time and to keep up with the kids. And most recently I've worked at a daycare in the infant/step up section(Ages 2 months-1. 5 years).
