Summary
When I worked at St.John's I had jus finished my Early Childhood degree and I was so excited to be with children. During this time I became a Mom myself and decided to stay home. Being with my two baby girls was the best time of my life. When they went to school I was so fortunate to get an infant toddler job with CAP. I have enjoyed the 19 years watching children grow up making changes everyday. This is the best it can get. I hope that I have helped parents know that their child is safe with me while they work or go to school so they can be the best they can be as a parent.
