About Liam

Hi, I'm Liam! I've been in childcare officially for over 2 years now, before that I was working at a retirement home and babysitting for family and friends. I love arts and crafts, reading and writing, swimming, and playing games. In my free time I mostly hang out with my cats, play video games, and make art. I love working with children, but when you're working at a childcare center with over 10 kids in most of the classrooms it's hard to make meaningful and personal connections with the kids. I'm looking to be more one-on-one with children so I can be a positive influence on their lives. Especially since some kids don't have a positive male figure in their lives, I'm hoping I can be that.
