I’m a 19 year old with plenty of childcare experience. I completed 4 years of a Teaching Class in High school while shadowing a special needs pre-k class & worked in a Preschool for almost a year! I’ve also baby sat on the side since i was 15! I love connecting with the kids & getting to know them personally. I find when teaching children new things it’s always important that they’re taught with their personal needs in mind!
