  About Me
 
The people who make me the happiest in life are children. Taking care of children has always been rewarding to me because not only do I have the opportunity to teach and impact young lives, but in doing so, I continue learning about life and myself.
My experiences:
12+ years with a family of 4 children
4 years of daycare experience while in college
7 years teaching middle school language arts
Head of the 2-3 year old class at my former church
2 years nannying 2 beautiful girls in Miami (I need a new job because they are moving).
1 year substituting preschool/elementary school

I have a beautiful niece (5) and nephew (4). I love them so much that I can't imagine how great it will be when I become a mom. I am nerdy and already read books on parenting and search articles/the web for constant learning/fun activities.

I love to sing, dance, go on adventures, join playgroups, but most of all, love your child(ren) like they are one of my own.
