Growing up as the second oldest in a family of 5, I have over 13 years of childcare, both professionally and personally! I'm experienced with all ages, from infancy to high school, and have been trained to teach ESL, learning and mentally disabled, and behaviorally or emotionally challenged kids. My background has also familiarized me with the developmental stages, praise and correctional tactics, and conflict resolution. These, paired with pet care experience and mild OCD that makes me an excellent housekeeper, allow me to function as much more than just an average babysitter!
