I am an outgoing, fun-loving person who enjoys laughing and having a good time, but I am also strict when it comes to manners and behavior. I have always been able to strike a healthy balance with kids and know how to communicate with them effectively. I am extremely understanding and have always been someone children feel comfortable talking to, especially when something is bothering them. My 4-year-old granddaughter's favorite person is me, and she is mine; we are constantly playing and learning together. Coming from a family of teachers, teaching is second nature to me, especially with younger children.

I have been babysitting since I was 12. I was a stay-at-home mom of two boys and also looked after babies and children. Now, as a 50-year-old grandmother of a 4-year-old, I have provided full-time and part-time care for her.
