Hi, my name is April I’m 45 years old and I used to be a teacher of makeup. I moved to Hollywood a couple years ago to pursue the makeup industry. I had the privilege to work on the red carpet at the Oscars in 2019 and met a lot of high profile celebrities. Unfortunately, Covid-19 hit and my life course changed a little bit and brought me back to Springfield, Missouri. I always loved children and always felt that taking care of kids was another passion of mine that God put on my heart. I was a personal Nanny for 2 families growing up and did a lot of babysitting during high school and early 20’s. Right now, I’m a Lead teacher for a pre-school in the Ozarks, a teacher of 16, 3 year olds. I love my kids but wanted to pursue something more personal. I have my Read more CPR certificate, poison prevention certificate, and many more.
