I have cared for and taught all ages of children in various places, to include public and private schools, churches, scouts, and sports programs. I have been involved with children since I helped take care of my younger siblings and also babysat non-family starting as a teenager. I am a certified teacher, who has mostly worked with preschool age children, but have also taught/tutored K-8th grade, as well. I have a clean background check, driving record , and I'm certified with the international Nanny Association and as a foster child caregiver through Texas Department of Family and Protective services . I like to sing, read, dance, do hands-on activities, help with learning and will encourage your child(ren)'s strengths while maintaining a neat and clean home. I truly consider it my life's calling to work with and care for children. I'm available 24/7. Any questions, just ask! :)
