I'm a friendly, funny, happy individual with a patient temperament and a passion for being my best self. I love kids so much, I truly think they are the brightest and most innovative minds we have on the planet, their out of the box thinking is phenomenal and so much fun! I have been a babysitter since I was 14 years old, from neighborhood jobs to working in my church nursery to working in a daycare as I attended college, I have loved every single job I've had related to children. I've read my fair share of parenting books (Love and Logic is light summer reading, to me!) and have done copious research on discipline techniques and infant care. Without even being a parent myself, I own a dog-eared copy of What To Expect: The First Year! I have a reliable car, and an exemplary driving record. I have never Read more even been pulled over by the police, and of the two accidents I've been in (in over 10 years of driving), I was not majorly at fault in either. I do smoke (vape) but I would never do so in your house or around your children. If anything, I will discuss with you if you would be comfortable allowing small breaks, and if not, I can easily go without for a full shift. I love pets, although big, barking dogs make me a tad bit nervous! (I know how to recognize a total teddy bear when I see one, though!)
