Hi everyone! I have been working with kids of all ages for about 10 years now but my main focus is early childhood. I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and have been a teacher in a classroom for about 4 years. I love working with children it's truly is one of my passions and I would love to take that passion outside of the classroom, have a bit more freedom and flexibility with the children I work with. Living in Florida im a big outdoors girl I love being able to take walks and enjoy the fresh air/water. I have a cat and a dog so I am familiar with those care services as well.
“Pamela was great! She was able to tame the little one from the first minute!”
