Hello, I am a 40 year old woman. Up until recently I have worked with children all of my life. As a little girl it was my dream to become a teacher and have my own classroom. I had so many doll babies growing up cause there wasn't nothing more to me than becoming a mother as well. i have worked in serveral daycares, after school programs, and even worked with children with mental disabilities which I did for 8+ years. My love for children has been my calling all my life. I have babysat for families who has become my family. I can promise you there is not one child or adolescent with whom I worked with won't say I love Ms. Mahogany. I like to have fun, I like to teach, give attention, play games, whatever it takes to make that child smile. My motto is these children Read more are our future let us lead by example and show them the world can be an amazing place. I have been trained with cpr first aid and other various training methods. I guarantee if you choose me you won't regret it..

The children really enjoyed her and still talk about her. Mahogany was always on time and would cook whenever needed. She also kept the children entertained with board games and crafts.
