Hi there! I have always worked with children and genuinely enjoy it. My experience includes babysitting a family of 3 children all under the age of 10 while I was in high school, as well as working with children diagnosed with developmental disorders throughout college. Most recently, I began working with children on the Autism Spectrum and really enjoyed my work. While I have been working with children in special education most recently, I have been consistently babysitting since I was 13. I love to keep kids busy and engaged while with them and try to make everything fun! My main priority is keeping kids safe, happy and following rules - but having fun along the way is important too.
