Meet Kaija
- Comfortable with pets
I've worked as an assistant teacher in daycares from 2014-2025 mainly with toddlers but have worked with infants and elementary-aged children as well. I've also babysat all my life. I have a Bachelor's of Arts and I'm almost done with my Master's of Fine Arts, so my communication skills with kids and parents are well developed.
