I be a caregiver because I've always had an passion for working with children. I enjoy lending a hand and help children grow in great people. I believe all children are unique in their own way and the world is their learning environment. I have been babysitting since I was about 12 years old, I started off by just watching my family members and then it was all that I wanted to do. I currently have my AA in Education as well as my CDA. I'm CPR and First Aide certified. I am also an Certified Nursing Assistant.
