I like working with kids because it's incredibly fun; I hardly consider it a job!
I started working with kids as a mother's helper when I was 10 years old, then I progressed from occasional gigs to becoming a summer nanny.
In my spare time, I like to read, play piano, watch movies, and take walks outside.
I have worked with children since I was 11. I started out as a mommy's helper then went into babysitting and even ran my own summer camp in my back yard a few summers ago. I love playing outside or playing games!
