About Mercy

Having grown up with my mother babysitting newborns and toddlers from home, caring for children is as native to me as the English language. I thoroughly enjoy teaching kids basic skills and helping them with their homework (K-12) as much as I learn from them in return. I like working with kids because they remind me of the whimsy we ought to live with as adults. Having conversations with preschoolers thrills me as much as a good conversation with an adult. I started working with kids when I lost my first tooth. As previously mentioned, my mother was a babysitter from home, so as soon as I would put my backpack down from school, I would help entertain the babies until their parents came to pick them up. One thing you should know about me is I'm an artist, so my creative side allows me to problem solve and learn new skills quickly (i. e. braiding/styling hair) My skills include translating toddler speak, teaching and tutoring, and soothing even the most restless kids
