I have been caring for children since high school. I love spending time with children because they are so fun and teach me how to enjoy life to the fullest! I am in graduate school for school psychology so I have a background knowledge of childhood development and how to best help children learn and grow in a fun environment. I taught English in Spain for two years, worked in early childcare, worked with children with autism and adults with intellectual disabilities. These experiences taught me patience and helped me be creative in getting children to listen and follow directions. I look forward to helping care for your children.
