I absolutely love children, I've been caring for and raising my own for many years. I am currently looking to work more hours near my home (Highland Park;). I am highly experienced in both teaching and caring for young children! I've been told I have the patience of a Saint, humble in nature, and am "gifted" with motivating children;). I share & teach mutual respect & trust at a very young age in being TRULY attentive to thier needs--while finding new & fun ways to incorporate into daily activities, chores &/or homework-- I go that extea mile to treat siblings as EQUALS at all times, to do whats expected of them-yet be proud of what they've accomplished!
