A little bit about me

I attended the University of Cincinnati and earned a bachelors in early childhood and special eduction. Because of this, I adore teaching kids new skills such as reading and writing. I love all animals, but I'll admit I'm less of a fan of insects. I'm a self-declared excellent baker; I have made endless freshly baked cookies. I have a crush on the world and love traveling; I can speak a little German and ASL. I love music, books, puzzles, crafts, board games and other interactive games. One of my artsy specialties is coloring and singing along to classic Disney songs, but my talents are adaptable and I love exploring whatever interests the kids I babysit. Number one priority is ensuring you and your family are comfortable, happy, and find the right fit for your family.
