Hello! I have three special needs rescue kitties-Pickle, Egg, and Beans-and I love to create things and be outside. I love love love infant and toddler care, but really enjoy older kiddos who can do more activities with me, e. g. bake weekly treats for the family (though I'm very open to bake for you while littles naps if you love food as much as I do!). I focus a lot on social emotional learning and problem solving when with toddlers, and improving creative/hobby skills with kids who are already in school. I grew up in the middle of nowhere playing outside everyday, helping my mom's bakery, fostering special needs/orphaned kittens, and taking care of younger siblings and cousins. I was valedictorian, but life happened and then just kept happening, so I have a very different pursuing-further-education path that's on hold for the foreseeable future. I just moved to the area and would love to join a family for the next few years. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddo(s)!
