I am currently in school studying the Education of Young Children with a minor in applied behavior analysis at UNCW. I am the second oldest of 5, so I grew up babysitting for my family. I started babysitting outside of my family when I was 16, and over the years accumulated a lot of experience in working with children with casual babysitting, part-time/full-time nannying, and teaching. I started my teaching career in Boone, NC and continued it when I moved to New Zealand and then Australia. I worked at two widely renowned child care centers in Melbourne, Australia. My experience is with children of all ages, however my time in New Zealand and Australia were spent with children ages 0-5. My dream is to open up my own child care center for children with special needs in underdeveloped countries. I have a passion for child care and am looking forward Read more to continuing my career in child care and development!
