Hi! My name is Jherika. I love to have fun with children and teach them in a positive way. I am a mother myself. My son is four years of age, and since he has been in my life I have had the opportunity to bond and enjoy time with other children as well. I continuously try to teach children all the positive aspects of life. I also have two younger brothers, ages 18 and 11 years old. With that said, I have accumulated A LOT of patience!! ;) While tending to your child he/she will study language, mathematics, etiquette, and whatever your request may be. In short, I would love to be able to care for your child in a loving way and be a help to you! Thanks!!!
