Additional Information

I Have always worked with children as a side job since I was 10 years old. From babysitting to teaching different subjects. I am great with all ages children. Although, I'm watching/ teaching them I also learn a lot for them as well. With that being said I do have lots of patience and a true understanding when it comes to children. I would say that I am a all around people person which means people have the tendency to open up to me. Often times making me feel like a "therapist". Surprisingly, I don't mind and have helped many people (friends, family, even strangers) through various situations in their lives.
