Hi there! I am a creative and genuine caregiver with an extensive background in childcare experience. I have dedicated my life path to supporting children and their families starting as an adolescent in 2010. I have worked with children in a variety of settings and with a wide range of ages. This includes babysitting, working as a pre-school teacher, special education instructor for elementary and middle schoolers, and nannying for a family transitioning their child through late-aged adoption. I have also spent one year in a Children's Village in South Africa, taking care of kids of all ages and abilities. Every day I was able to be a positive role model for them and enhance their eagerness to learn. I've completed my B. A. in Child and Adolescent Development and I'm currently completing a Master's of Social Work degree with a concentration in Children, Youth and Families. This gives me Read more a grounded perspective on the processes of every child's mind to keep them healthy and growing to be their best self! I look forward to hearing from you!
