I have extensive experience in caring for children. I attended various classes related to child care during my own pregnancy including CPR & Safety: Infant & Child and Newborn Baby Care: The Basics. I have over 30 hours of experience as a Volunteer Teacher’s Aide in a Pre K classroom. I've read a myriad of parenting books and enjoy educating myself on all things child-development related.
