A little bit about me

I'm 36 years old and live on the south side of Des Moines. I have a small dog named Sammi and enjoy helping my elderly neighbors. I love working with children and have been doing so since I was 9 years old. I am a hands on caregiver and fully believe in engaging a child's mind, not just using screens to distract them.
