Hi there! My Experience and Qualifications: I started working as a babysitter when I was 13 year old and now have more than 15 year experience working with and caring for children. I am a licensed early childhood and special education teacher and am First Aide and CPR certified for children and adults. I currently work as an inclusion preschool teacher for ages 4-5. I previously worked as a K-2nd special education teacher. I have also taught middle school in the past as well as worked with children ages 18months - 3 year old's in a day care setting. A Little Bit About Me: I am the eldest of 10 children and frequently watch my 7 nieces and nephews at one time. When I am babysitting or tutoring I like to give my full attention to the child or children and ensure I am engaging with them in ways that Read more are fun for the children! I love pets and have 2 dogs, several fish, and a class hamster my students named chocolate. I also love to spend time outdoors, dancing, reading and creating things (Halloween costumes, painting, etc.).
