A little bit about me

Hello! I am 28 and have a passion for taking care of and helping people of all ages! I have certifications for Safe Sleep, CPR, First Aid and AED.
From teaching piano lessons for 4 years to nannying for a mother of 2, and a multi-generational home; I have learned a lot about how to be a successful caretaker including co-regulating emotions and making day to day tasks fun learning opportunities!
I also have experience as a Personal Care Assistant through the State of Missouri with a 19 year old with low functioning autism and have also taught piano lessons to an autistic child.
In my opinion, lesson plans and curriculum are a given for toddlers and preschoolers as education is a cornerstone of development. When creating a lesson plan, I always make sure my pupils are engaged in what they're learning and enjoy coming up with new and creative ways to teach. I've played piano for 20 years and have found that music games are a great way to make learning fun!
