I have plenty of past experience babysitting and working in a daycare. I just graduated with a degree in Early and Childhood Education. I am fun, upbeat, happy, and love to be around kids!
I am a nurse and have cared for many patients in my over 20 years of experience. Also, I have cared for many ill family members. I am a very caring, compassionate; dedicated and hard working person. I genuinely love and care about people - I have a big heart for hurting people or people in need.
