Kids Are The Best :)

See profile
I have been babysitting since I was 11 years old and I am a primary caregiver for my niece and nephew. When I'm working with children, it's hard but so rewarding it doesn't feel like a job. I love to teach kids about art and music and help with homework and anything else they might need.

I used to help tutor my friends when we were in school together. I will also review the material myself before I start. While working at the daycare kids would flock to me asking me questions about their homework as well. If I don't know it. I'll figure it out.
