Over the time of my life I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by kids through family and friends. This made me very capable of dealing with children and learning about the way the act and the proper way to care for them. It was not until I was 15 (of legal age to babysit) that I was able to watch these children on my own. I have babysat for many families, those of close friends and family and those of their friends through word of mouth. I have worked at a Montessori over a couple summers to get some experience on a resume and to help with my child care experience as well. I am very spontaneous and love to be outdoors! My family has an Italian restaurant so cooking/baking is my specialty. I think cooking is very important in family life because it's a good way to get away from other things and a good time to talk about family things!
