Hello! I joined Wyndy because I truly love working with kids and enjoy building trust with families. A little about me is I am currently finishing my last semester of nursing school in the Neonatal ICU. I have learned so much about supporting childhood development throughout nursing school and would love to be able to gain more experience outside of the hospital!

Hi Iβm Moment, I'm an 18-year-old college student with a passion for education I,ve had to opurtunity to work with kids throughout my highschool years while also being given the opportunity to observe from a teacher point of view and gain the skills to become the educator I aspire to be . My journey towards becoming a teacher has been shaped by years of experience caring for children. I've extensively babysat my three younger siblings, and my skills were further expanded when my uncle paid me to look after his five children, ranging in age from two months to seven years old. This often included overnight stays, giving me a deep understanding of child development and the responsibilities that come with nurturing young minds.
