I have since cared for children of all ages, both in childcare centers and at family homes as a nanny. I have my B. A. in English and Communications, and realized soon after college that caring for children is what I am most passionate about. I enjoy reading, music, sports, traveling, painting (though my artistic abilities could use some work). I love animals and grew up with dogs and cats, and the occasional bunny rabbit.
