About Vanessa

Hi! I'm Vanessa. I'm a student at Missouri State University and I'm majoring in elementary education. I hope one day to be a second grade teacher. I grew up around kids and have had a lot of experience because of it. I am the second oldest of five, and I heavily helped take care of my youngest brother while he was an infant during the covid pandemic. My parents both had to work, so I took care of him and my other siblings. I began babysitting for others for pay when I was around 10 or 11 years old. It's something I love and care about. Children have a special place in my heart, and I hope I can be a good fit for you and your family. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, caring, and crafty. I like working with kids because they are so fun and creative! They see the world differently and I love supporting their imaginations. One thing you should know about me is I am your biggest supporter. I'm flexible and easy to work with. I just want the best for you and your family.
