Hi! I have over 3 years of experience working with children of different ages. I teach kids languages and regularly work with them in various settings, which helps me understand their needs and personalities well. I also grew up taking care of my four younger siblings, so being around kids is a natural part of my life. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, play, and feel safe.
