I have always been surrounded by children, as my mom owns an in-home daycare. I have volunteered in my churchβs kids ministry every other month and have 4 years of experience teaching preschool through a once-a-week program at my church. I also spent one summer babysitting 3 children and have watched the same little girl for the past 3 school years, from when she was 4 until she turned 6. I currently have a 6-month-old of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for little ones. Iβm looking to provide childcare and earn a little extra income while doing something I genuinely enjoy. I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for them.
