Hi, I'm Starla! I have an AA in Early Childhood Education, a BA in Health and Human Development, CPR/First Aide card, and over a decade of training and experience regarding children aged 0-8. I have always known that I wanted to work with children. Babies, in particular are my passion. I love how fast they learn new things and grow; plus there's the adorable factor! Education is important, especially birth-three, and I am well versed in how to evaluate and expand children's social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and language development. I like to sing songs, play games, read books, teach sign language and Spanish, blow bubbles, take walks, take day trips to the park/children's museum/waterfront etc... I know TONS of fun arts and crafts, and am particularly good at using babies hand and foot prints to make awesome things. I have lots of experience with military families, and love pets!
