My greatest passion is positively impacting children and providing a safe space for them.For the past 10 years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages through structured programs, nannying and care and also have a 7-year-old boy. I hold a college degree, emphasized in youth and currently work part-time as a Children's Ministries Director at a church in Boise. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing board games and educational games with children, along with leading art projects and love being outside. I am First Aid/CPR certified.I believe in enforcing preferred household schedules and rules. I always follow parents' preferred method of communication regarding their child's day.
