I have my degree in Psychology at West Chester University. I currently take care of a Special Needs Adult whom has the mental capacity of a child. I protect her from herself and from others. In addition I provide her with all the care a nanny would provide with any child. I have watched over my step siblings as well as my friends baby (9 months) and my neighbors children as they have grown up through the years. I truly enjoy working and playing with children and they enjoy my company because I am a high energy person who loves to be on the move and busy. I am very well organized and have taken several courses on child development during my time at West Chester University. I look forward to working with children and having fun with them while keeping them safe everyday.
