About Arpy

personality: creative, sweet, open I love children. I find connection with them very easily. I believe I put them at ease because I make them important, give them my focus and come to their level. I come from a large extended family and had about 10 younger cousins I would baby sit and help with. In college, I was hired regularly for this, I taught in a cultural enrichment school for a year, teaching grammar, vocabulary and history to 1st and 2nd graders. I have also volunteered for CASA programs. At this time I am studying and training for advancement in my professional design career. When I have had spare time, I have enjoyed sketching, painting, creating products, caring for my home, visiting museums, reading and travel. I can engage with children artistically through arts and craft, encourage conversation, keep them occupied as necessary. I am thoughtful, attentive and cautious about their safety.
