I love children and have practically babysat since my high school years, when I graduated in 1993. So that’s been a long time! I use to babysit my two nephews when they were babies while I was in high school. I also care for my client who has Epilepsy, & Autism, whom I still keep once or twice a week when care is needed for him. I’ve cared for him since he was the age 4, and now he’s 23 .......AND I also babysat his younger brother and sister since they were little until they grew up. I have worked with ages 10 mo. & up since 1994 when I was hired at Gretchen Everhart School where I still continue to work at now FT. We don’t accept students under the age of 3 anymore, and haven’t for some years now. So I have currently worked with ages 3-5 in Read more Pre-K quite a while now. I have 2 beautiful daughters of my own who are 17 & 12 years of age. I do not smoke or drink. I am certified in CPR & First Aid.
