Hi. I graduated from college in the Spring of 2009 with a degree in Youth, Adult and Family Services and a minor in Psychology. The classes I took peaked my interest in working with children. On top of my experience, I am the oldest of five children. I have four younger brothers, (and oh, do I love them). I love the opportunity to work with kids. I am very passionate about working with children. I love to see kids grow, smile, laugh, and play. I love to read with children. I love to play outside and be active. I love to cook with kids and teach them while we are cooking. I love to go the pool with kids and go to the park. I like to help teach children, help with homework etc. I enjoy being that positive role model that mimics what parents are teaching when parents are working or otherwise detained.

Something else I would like to share with you is that in May of 2011, I was lucky enough to receive a service dog after being on the waiting list for three years. I would like to have him with me at all times but do also understand allergies and uncomfortable feelings with dogs. I would like the opportunity to work with a family that would not mind me having him with me. I would be happy to share more with you and look forward to working with new families.
Thank you!
