I have been working with children for the last 10 years! I started my child care journey when I was just 14 years old. I started as a nanny for 3 children during the summer months. Throughout the year I would babysit for them and all their neighbors. After working with this family for several years I took a job at YMCA in their after school child care program working with elementary aged children. I continued this job through college and then was promoted to be a lead caregiver. Once I graduated college I started working as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. I now currently work part time at the YMCA at their Kid Stuff Program working with children 6 weeks- 10 years old. I was promoted to lead at this position as well. I am currently certified in CPR and First Aid.
