As a recent Bachelor of Arts graduate with a major in Sociology and a minor in Psychology, I’ve gained a complex understanding of social dynamics throughout a variety of contexts and demographics, which is a useful perspective for my passion - which is caring for and teaching our youth! Although I have no formal training, I have many years of experience babysitting for friends, family, and the public, as well as running after school programs for elementary-aged children during my time as a museum tour guide. I have a little sibling, nieces and nephews, and countless little cousins that I grew up around. I’ve also helped out at the day-home that my mother ran & operated out of our home growing up!
I am a mother of 3 grown children
I will come into your home and provide a safe and nurturing environment where I will not only supervise I will interact with them as well as that's the best part getting to know their personalities and guiding them to become the best version of themselves.
