About me
I have cared for children for four years now between the ages of newborn and grade school, but really I have been caring for children since I was 13 when my siblings were born. They are the reason I enjoy working with children, being around them always puts a smile on my face and that is always my main goal every day. I always enjoy doing fun activities with the children like science experiments, water parks, swimming, sports, and anything else their minds can imagine. I am very attentive and optimistic.
In my most recent position, I worked as a live-in nanny which was different from my last two positions as a babysitter. In this position, I had to drive the children around and perform other responsibilities which were new to me but I was able to adjust to the task at hand immediately. I also traveled with this family by plane, and on a road trip whenever they planned a trip. Other responsibilities included cooking, taking the children to doctor appointments, driving the children from San Diego to Los Angeles to visit family, and cleaning around the house. I also had to care for eczema and food allergies.
Children bring happiness, and joy into everyone's lives. We as adults are here to mold them into better beings and make sure that that happiness does not fade, and I feel that I have been doing a great job at this.

In 5 years, I hope to be...
In the future, I hope to become a teacher. Not just any teacher but I hope to become one of those teachers that students come back and visit and update teachers on their lives. I hope to be loved by my students because I know I will love them all. My high school teacher Gary Kuchmeister was my greatest aspiration because of his caring for all of his students. He made everyone feel seen and heard and there is not one student who has not changed after meeting him.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I love doing science experiments with children. There was this website that I used to purchase kits that were made for a toddler to school-aged children that my second family's children absolutely loved. I love to share my love for reading with the children and read with them.
