I always knew I wanted to be a teacher and work with children👩🏻🏫.
I started babysitting at 12 and got my first job at 15 at Hester’s Day Care. I worked afterschool every day and from Wesley Hester I learned fingerplays, rhymes, singing games, and simple songs to sing with children👧🏻👦🏻👧🏼🧒🏿👦🏼👧🏾. He always laughed when he sang and played with the children.
I learned from him the importance of singing daily with the children. Throughout my teens and early twenties, I played guitar and sang with friends, family, and children in day cares and preschools, summer camps and afterschool programs🎶.
