I have been in childcare (babysitting, schools for special needs, therapy for special needs) for most of my life. I have experience caring for children aged 2-14. I believe in having fun, being outdoors, teaching skills in context (such as tying shoes etc.) and having a positive relationship rather than just being a babysitter.
