I moved to Upstate New York in 2004. My personality is happy, funny, friendly, outgoing, energetic, and goofy. I love doing many outdoor activities: walking, swimming in my pool, rollerblading, playing volleyball, and just being outside. I am a very creative person. While babysitting for two boys ages 2.5 and 4.5 years old they were playing swords and getting a little crazy. I told them we are going to play a game called balloon float. We had to keep the balloons in the air using only the swords. No more issues! I have been watching children since I was 12 years old. It started with my brother, then neighborhood kids, then by word of mouth, and my job. I have worked with children for 12 years. I have worked with infants through 13 year olds. Each age has special challenges, great rewards, and lots of fun to teach children.
