I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Early Childhood Education and a valid teaching license in the state of Ohio.

I have extensive experience with children including babysitting, after school care, 3rd-5th grade day camp counselor, tutoring, interning at various daycares, preschools and elementary schools, and student teaching in a kindergarten classroom.
