Hi there! I'm a senior in the Childhood Education program at Hunter College. I'm compassionate, patient, curious, and playful. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 2 to 11. Additionally, I have cared for newborns, infants, and children with special needs. I'm passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment that fosters positive development for children.
