Anna Fox
Harrisonburg,VA
Summary
I go by Kayden instead of Anna, and I am twenty-four years old. I graduated high school in 2018 with a 3.8 GPA I have been working with children for the past nine years. I babysat in my neighbor's children before I started at Kids First Swim School. Being a Swim teacher to young children was what made me want to go into teaching right after High School. Working with children is something that I love. I have been working as a pre-school teacher for the past three years.
