Julia Pong's infant and child experience

I have a diverse and extensive experience in childcare. During high school and college summers I would nanny for families, or be a camp counselor. During my college and masters program, I gained lots of experience teaching in a myriad of different classrooms. After college, I taught in elementary school, subsequently found a passion in working with families of multiples and have since started an in-home daycare with cohorts of "multiples" from families in the community.
