I've practically grown up watching kids! Between serving at my church and volunteering with the toddlers, I've gained a ton of experience. Plus, having an autistic baby brother has taught me so much about patience and understanding every day. I love taking him outside to run around and play with bubbles it's the best! And if dancing's involved, count me in! Being a cheerleader taught me how to make everything super fun and engaging.
