I have always loved working with children and ever since I was in third grade I wanted to grow up to be a teacher. I grew up in Troy, MI and graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. All throughout high school I babysat for families in my neighborhood, and when I came home from college during the summers I worked at a daycare. After graduating from Michigan State University I moved to Atlanta, GA to peruse my teaching career, where I taught for seven years. I taught two years of fourth grade, three years of third grade, and two years of second grade. I moved back to Michigan this past year and continued me teaching career at Hazel Park Schools. I have also babysat in the Atlanta area during my time off of teaching. I am infant and child CPR certified and love pets. Read more I have experience babysitting children ages 2 months up to age 12. I love being a teacher and working with children. I have a talent of having fun with children while making them feel safe. I have moved back to Michigan to be closer to family, and am looking forward to continue working with children.
