Hello ! I recently completed a bachelor’s in Counseling this year. As I move forward. I choose to work with babies because of the joy that brings to my life. I believe in teaching babies in an environment that would help them to build the ability to develop skills and organization. In the past I’ve taken my babies to the mall playground, the library, aquarium, beach, parks, and even sleep overs at my home when the parents go on vacations, and likewise I’ve stayed at previous employers residences for occasional extended periods. And I am open and available to travel internationally. Having the opportunity of working with birth to three., a special needs development agency founded by the state, I learned invaluable experience to recognize, and build the strength with them, to face the challenges in the next task. I also have the privilege of speaking and writing in two Read more languages, am a first responder certified by the American Red Cross in person not online. And I speak ASL.
