Hi! My name is Leia and I have my BAS in Psychology as well as currently working on my masters to become a Mental Health Counselor. I have a lot of experience with elementary school children as well as early childhood ages. I worked in a pre school for 4 years and currently I go to a family's house after school where I work with two children helping with homework and taking them to their sports. I left the pre school for more experience in the field so now I work with an older population, but due to the family I work with I still have a refreshed memory of elementary and middle school academics. I am comfortable with animals, driving the kids, and helping with anything else needed. Let me know if you think I would be a great addition to your family. :)
