I have been in childcare most of my life. My grandmother has ran a dance for over 30 years and I’ve been working with her for over 5. I mostly handle the basic needs for children; watching them, taking them to the restrooms, cleaning up afterwards, feeding them, clothing them, and preparing the children for bed.

I have been involvedΒ in childcare for many years now, from having 6 younger cousins (min. of 6 years younger than me) and a baby brother who is 14 years younger than me, to babysitting for families through high school and college and working in an after-school care program. I have been working in sports since I graduated college in 2021 and that also involves a lot of interaction with different types of people and lots of children. I just got married and am looking for a bit of a change of pace, and have always loved being around children. I am also CPR and AED certified. I take childcare very seriously and am very trustworthy and responsible, as I know how it feels to put your trust into someone regarding your kiddos (because I'm basically like a second mom to my younger brother).
