Hi my name is Vanessa! I've been working with children for about 14 years. I started out by working for a child care agency where I took care of children of all ages who had special needs. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, and middle school age at a pediatric clinic which was super fun. I strongly believe a child’s self-esteem is the child’s passport to a lifetime of mental health and social happiness. It’s the foundation of a child’s well-being and the key to success as an adult. Essentially, a child's growth and their well being are a top priority. I am very loving person and family oriented, so your child will be like family to me. I love to read to them, play games, anything that helps them get in their creative side and learning on the academic side as well. Helping Read more them problem solve for real life situations as well. During my free time, I love working out , music, dancing, hiking, reading , cooking and prayer. Hope to talk to you soon! :)
