Children are my passion. My experience lies primarily in early childhood, as I taught preschool for over 11 years. I am currently an Educational Assistant in the Special Education Department of the Brandon Valley Middle School. During school breaks and summer vacation, I am home with my children. For years, I have babysat during school breaks and summer vacation as I know it can be challenging for parents to find child care when there are school breaks. Beginning in Mid-May until Mid-August, I will be available to offer child care in Brandon, SD. While on summer break, we enjoy going to the park, on nature walks, biking, going to the library, visiting museums, playing sports, and going to the pool. I am available to provide rides to swim lessons, sporting or other activities depending on the scheduling. I would love to answer any further questions, please feel free to contact Read more me. Thank you for your consideration.
