From the first smile to the last diaper, I have been there and have enjoyed every minute of it. As every child is unique in their needs and abilities, my goal is to understand what those are and to create a fun, loving, nurturing environment where they are comfortable to develop in life through exploration, play and socialization. I am college educated with plans to further my education towards a degree in Early Childhood Development. I am infant First Aid/CPR certified and have experience with homemade baby food, breast milk preparation, formula, preparing healthy meals and age-appropriate homemade/environmentally safe toys, crafts and projects.
