I have a strong passion for children, and helping them to squeeze the most fun and excitement out of every moment. I have been sitting for about 13 years now, and have been in child care professionally for the past 6 years. I have worked and supervised the child care & recreational facility for one of the Florida Keys' top resorts where I organize and lead camp sessions, coordinate day to day poolside activities, arrange in villa child care and much more. Because of this; I have vast experience with caring for large groups of kids (15+), special needs, non-English speaking children, and other special cases. I am well-versed with all age groups, and am able to (successfully!) watch 8+ children at a time. I take great joy in guiding children to find the fun in day to day tasks, and living in Paradise: it's important to me to help Read more kids take advantage of our beautiful surroundings. To me, there is nothing sweeter than seeing a twinkle and excitement in a child's eyes.
