years and have been working with infants and toddlers at Action Day ever
since.
4. What do you like most about your job?
Children tend to have a naturally positive outlook on life in general, as do

Moving out of my parent’s house and living on my own for the last 2 ˝ years.

advice you can give parents of toddlers?
Help them to develop their language skills by listening to them and allowing
them to use their words to get what they want.
12. Do you have any healthy lunch ideas?
Toddlers love sweet tastes but that doesn’t mean junk food…fresh fruit,
yogurt, gummies, etc are all healthy alternatives. Fresh food is always a
hit and will help children to learn to eat healthy foods at an early age.
13. Do you have any discipline tips?
Listen to their needs and wants. Always responding to their good behavior
instead of their bad behavior will guide them in the right direction.
