I went to college in San Diego for Biochemistry, and ended up working in childcare to put myself through a Masters program in Biotechnology. I have been babysitting since I was 11, so around 13 years. I was working at a Childcare Development Center in Okinawa from Aug 2025 to June 2026, so I am CPR certified, and am experienced working with kids from 6 weeks to 5 years old. I am looking to transfer to a CDC on Wright Patterson AFB, so this is a means of supporting myself while I wait for that transfer to process. While I was working at the CDC in Okinawa, I underwent a background check to ensure I was fit for childcare, and passed. I assure you that I will take great care of your children and that we will have fun together!
