Hello! I am a 18 year old Greenville Technical College student pursuing my education in psychology and social work as a double major currently. My passion for caring after children and others as a whole inspired my career choice! I also come from a large family (8 siblings) where i gained majority of my knowledge from. I’m typically the one people call for when it comes to caring for children. Chaos, messes, spills, and dirty diapers do not scare me. I love seeing children enjoy their youth!
