A little bit about me

Growing up with two older sisters, I always found myself wanting a younger sibling of my own. Someone to watch out for the way my sisters watched out for me.
As I grew older, I gravitate towards jobs that allow me to do just that. To take care of others younger than myself- to offer advice and guide them in the right direction.
I approach every child through a lens of empathy, and that above all else helps to build their trust.
Taking care of children in any way is endlessly fulfilling, because you get to witness the moments of development that simply take your breathe away. As they development so do we- children are some of our greatest teachers.
