The older sister who knows how to have fun (and how to get them to listen lol)

I absolutely adore working with children! I love that I can still tap into my own inner child while spending time with them. Kids are so incredibly cute and full of wonder. As the older sister of two, I've always been cautious and observant, ensuring their safety and well-being. I find their unique personalities and outspoken nature incredibly entertaining – they truly have been the funniest people I know!
