I've always enjoyed being around kids and have had quite a bit experience caring for them. In highschool, I took an Early Childhood Education class where I got hands on-experience working with preschoolers. I've also babysat my younger brother and cousins, so I'm comfortable keeping your kids entertained, helping with routines, and making sure they're safe and having a good time. I'm also BLS certified and have my Nursing Assistant Certification, so I'm trained in saftey and know how to stay calm and handle different situations.
