Hello! I'm a 4th year medical student graduating this year and going into child neurology. I really enjoy working with kids of all ages and backgrounds, having fun while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I have over 5 years of experience babysitting infants, young children, and teenagers. My favorite activities include cooking, singing, reading, freeze tag, and hide-and-go seek. When the weather is nice I love getting outside to ride bikes or just enjoy the sun.Volunteering with children is also super important to me.
