From a young age I have always enjoyed babysitting children. I started babysitting when I was 13, worked in a daycare by 19, and have worked with children in medical, educational, and social service settings for the last 10 years. I love seeing children learn, grow, discover new things, and show their unique personalities, interests, and quirks. I have training in Trauma based relational intervention (TBRI) and have worked with children from many different backgrounds and cultures. I love seeing children's interests and giving them opportunities to grow and develop those interests in a safe and nurturing environment. I have worked in educational settings for the last 3 years, so caring for multiple children's needs at once is something that I do with ease.
