I have assisted numerous families in the Tehachapi and Los Angeles areas. I work well with children by creating interactive and hands-on crafts, games, and activities that enable each child to express themselves in their own way. Since being raised by a grade school educator, I know how to develop my own 'curriculum' to keep the kids learning and growing, while still maintaining their excitement and keeping them entertained with the on-going activity. Taking care of children has been an amazing way to communicate, learn, listen and understand just how important their experiential development is and how they interpret their surrounding environment. As a caretaker, I wish to make sure that the child feels important, valued, and made as a top priority to their parents and to myself.
