A little bit about me

Hi! My name's Julia, I'm 21 and currently a psychology major at UW. I'm originally from Spain and speak both English and Spanish fluently.
I'm a positive, reliable, active and energetic person with more than 2 years of experience with kids, comfortable taking care of kids of all ages. I have the most experience with toddlers and pre-teens. I will make sure that your kids get the appropriate care and are in a safe space; for me, they are not only someone to take care of and respect, but to learn from and assist in the exciting life-long process that is growing. I consider myself resilient, responsible and organized, but also fun and outgoing. I understand that kiddos need the best of both worlds, so I will provide a supervised and safe environment for them, as well as a creative and playful one.
