In 2009 I moved back home to Ohio to start Wild About Kidz with my sister Kristin. When starting this business I would have never imagined it growing into what it has become. I love providing a safe place for families to bring their children, staff to work and giving back to the community!

I taught serval years of Prekindergarten and was a long-term sub for West Clermont. When Wild About Kidz started growing, I came back to work as Batavia's Admin.
