Hi there! I am a licensed registered dental hygienist that has experience in pediatric dentistry. I worked in a daycare as well prior to dental hygiene school.I am married with a 3-month-old baby boy & I have two toddler nephews! I am specifically looking for a job that allows me to care for my baby with your children. I'd love even more to watch your children in my home as thereβs many toys and activities already set up in the playroom for my baby. I also have two cribs!I am happy to pick-up and drop-off and take the kids to do outdoor activities in the warmer weather! I started working with kids when I was 16 at a daycare and then after dental hygiene school at a pediatrics office. In my spare time, I like to hang out with my family and go to the gym
