I come from a big family of six children. Being the fourth born I was always responsible for my two younger sisters, as well as other household responsibility. The responsibility of caring for others grew into a passion and before I knew it I started being held accountable for multiple kids in my neighbourhood. I have been a babysitter since high school and my love for children followed me all the way though college. I spent the majority of my college career as a babysitter for various families in the Towson neighbourhood. Also while at Towson, I had a job as a teachers assistant. I greatly enjoyed this experience because I was able to combine my love for children and teaching. I graduated from Towosn University with a Bachelors in Psychology and Public Relations. I also have a minor in Electronic Media and Film. I am bilingual, English and Yoruba. Read more I also studied Spanish for 7 years, but I must say I am not as fluent as I would like to be. I love being around kids and I can't think of a better way to spend my summer.
