A little bit about me
My name is California, but you can call me Cali. I am a mother of a brilliant 9 year old boy. I spend most of my time homeschooling him, working part-time, gardening, and hiking.
I plan to go back to college eventually to finish getting my teaching degree (science) and minor in child development. I help run a local "Wild and Free" co-op in the Merced area, where children can learn everyday life skills in a natural setting.
I know, as a parent myself, how hard it can be to trust someone with your child and how hard it can be to find someone reliable. I would like to provide that security for parents when they leave their children in my care.
Thank you for your time!
