I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, USA. I worked full time as a counselor at a children's summer program, elementary-middle school age. I've babysat my nieces, nephews, and occasionally the neighbors children. I've lived in Japan for 3 1/2 years as a student and learned basic Japanese. I'm a native English speaker and I can speak a little Spanish as well. I'm looking forward to baby sitting in Japan to further improve my self. Some activities I enjoy doing with children are playing outside, reading to them, playing with legos and just spending time with them in general.
