One interesting fact about yourself:

When I was in fifth grade I went to Jamaica on vacation. I got extremely

sunburned and returned to school with my hair braided in corn rows.

If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be and why?

I would have dinner with Elvis Presley, just because I think he’s really cool!

It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day?

Probably doing laundry and watching movies, unless it’s warm outside. If

it’s warm I’ll lay out in the sun!

What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child while working for SMS?

A little boy told me that I was his best friend and an hour later when I told

him he wasn’t allowed to do something he told me “We aren’t best friends

anymore. Just friends.”

When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be?

I wanted to be an astronaut or a doctor when I was little.

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three items, what would they be?

I would pick duct tape, a sleeping bag, and some flares!

What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

She used to tickle me and then toss me onto my bed. I used to laugh so hard!

What has been your most memorable experience while working with SMS?

My most memorable experience would have to be babysitting for a pair of twin babies. I loved babysitting them and their big brother, who was such a sweetheart. Every time I sat for them I really enjoyed it, and that is my best

experience.

One interesting fact about yourself:

I love to run and have done three half marathons!

If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who

would it be and why?

Reese Witherspoon, I’m not sure why, I have loved her since I was little. She’s my idol!

It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day?

Lying by the cozy fire with my family watching movies all day!

What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child

while working for SMS?

Kids always ask me about my children, I’m not sure what makes them think I have children! Also, one little girl used to always ask me to play with her friend that was invisible. She had a very creative mind!

When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be?

As a child, I wanted to be a teacher! I would make my older sister sit at a desk and I would give her homework to do!!

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three

items, what would they be?

My best friend, bathing suit, and some running shoes! All I would do is run along the beach and go swimming! Sounds perfect to me J

What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

The one thing that sticks out to me is when my grandpa babysat me! Usually my babysitter was a sibling or family member. One day before bedtime my grandpa saw a container of cookies on top of the refrigerator. He grabbed some cookies and put them in his mouth. Little did he know that it was a jar of cat food that we kept in the cookie container!! I think I laughed myself to sleep!

What has been your most memorable experience while

working with SMS?

I love meeting new families and kids. I have been with the same family for three years and it has by far been the best experience of my life, I feel like they are part of my family! I love the connection you can make with people, in such short time!

One interesting fact about yourself: I can wiggle my ears!

If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be and why?

I would have dinner with Tina Fey because not only is she a hilarious

woman, but she’s incredibly intelligent as well. After reading her book

Bossy Pants, I honestly felt like I knew her, so it’d be like friends catching

up! Nothing beats laughter.

It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day?

I’ll get up late, then make a big brunch of French toast or scrambled eggs.

Then I’ll spend the day in my comfy bed reading and watching movies. If

it’s nice out I’ll go to a park or ride my bike!

What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child

while working for SMS?

“One time I farted and it lasted 30 minutes” Kids and their sense of time is

priceless! The best part of this was that it was a little girl!

When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be?

I wanted to be an actress or a lawyer…the two things I still want to be

when I grow up!

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three

items, what would they be?

I would bring my ipod (can’t live without music!), my favorite book (The

Great Gatsby) and a pen (to write with…if I could bring 4 things the last

thing would be paper!)

What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

My babysitter wasn’t married, so I would ask random men if they’d be

her husband. Clearly I was not afraid to talk to strangers (I had a very

important reason to!) so it’s a good thing she was with me. Thankfully she

looks back on it and laughs, and it’s probably a good thing she didn’t end

up marrying any of the guys picked out for her by a five year old!

What has been your most memorable experience while

working with SMS?

It was the week before Mother’s Day last year, so I had the idea to make

Mother’s Day cards with the kids. It was a fun way to combine arts and

crafts with doing something kind for another person. The girls were so

excited and proud of their cards, and had me put them in special places in

their rooms so their mom would be surprised. It was great to hear the girls

talk about their mom, and helped me get to know the family better. When

I came back around Halloween, they asked if we could make Halloween

cards for each other! I still have them hanging in my room!
