Hi there! Thank you for your interest in my profile. My name is Tricia, I love working and spending time with children and have been doing so for quite some time now. Some of my best childhood memories are those with my babysitter, who was always willing to get involved in our games, interacting and teaching, rather than just supervising. I hope to be able to make a connection like this with your child(ren), and form a positive lasting bond. I have an extensive amount of experience working with children, and enjoy watching them learn and grow as an individuals. I would love the opportunity to be welcomed into your home and become part of your child's life. I look forward to meeting you and your family! Thank you for your time.
