Hi, I'm Benji, a part-time college student majoring in psychology, and part-time author writing my first novel. Being the middle child with a wonderful younger sister, I've seen the positive influence I and others can have in children's lives and try to carry that positivity and care into all my work. I currently work with two 6 year olds, and my sweet spot is around 5 - 8. I'm also very comfortable with pets - both cats and dogs - as I volunteered at APA for seven months at 25+ hours a week. My goal is to create impactful, lasting memories through care, fun, excitement, and optimism. I can't wait to meet your family!
