Hi everyone! I am a college student at University of Missouri and I major in Secondary English Education, and I plan to eventually become an Elementary librarian. I have over five years babysiting experience and consider childcare a passion of mine! Previously, I was a nanny to a toddler for two years, which provided me with lots of necessary childcare experience, such as mealtime and bedtime prep. I have 10 siblings of many different ages, four of them being younger (which is great experience in chaos-management, haha!) Kids bring me the most joy as I find it incredibly rewarding to explore their curiosities alongside them and assist them in growing in their knowledge of this amazing world! Outdoor activities, reading fun stories or acting out plays, and doing crafts are some of my favorite hobbies that are also fun for the kiddos I babysit!!
