Love working with littles and incorporating nature and play into learning! I am a recent grad although I have been working with children from the age of 15. I am the oldest of four, and have always had a gift of working with kids. I am looking to find the perfect family match to hopefully create a long lasting relationship to help nurture and care for their little one's.
