I have been baby sitting kinds since I was in my teens. I am now 28 years old. I am the eldest girl in an Italian family which is where I have most of my experience is for caring for family but I have babysat for my moms/aunts friends kids as well. Also learned from my Nonna & Mom how to cook, and clean, being the only girl on my fathers side of the family, at gatherings I was usually looked at for help once I became old enough. Growing up with brothers give me a good idea of how to connect with boys either through sports or video games most boys when meeting me are shy but then warm right up. Being female girls were never a problem to get along with, even the ones who would cry when their parents left, I would have them laughing within 30 min or playing with my makeup letting them put more on my face, anything to make them smile. Being a new aunt and spending so much time with my niece has really given me that extra push to want an pursue this field of work. I adore being around children and teaching them. I've taught my niece to: say hi and bye with her hands, give high five, smile, clap her hands, her version of crawling, blowing kisses and more. She is also the child in my display picture.
