Working with kids is my joy and pleasure! I no longer work in the classroom, so babysitting has been a way to spend quality time with children, in person. As a child at heart, I have been caring for children since I was a young girl, doing everything from babysitting to coaching a Special Olympics team, volunteering as an art therapist at the Ronald McDonald House, to teaching swimming, photography, and English to children. Play options are unlimited - indoor, outdoor, creative, active, reading, cooking - so much to do! For me the joy is finding what excites each child and then creating an opportunity for play and learning. Currently, I am an online Life Coach and Kid Coach and am writing a book, working on an APP and a Podcast - all about Joy! So I want to spend more time with kids (for me kids = joy!). I Read more also teach meditation & ESL to children and adults. I am always working to keep your precious kids safe, happy and learning. My sweet service dog Bella is always at my side and loved by all.
