Bridgette Barajas

Kids Club Director

I have always loved being around kids and my passion for working with children has grown throughout my 10+ years of experience in babysitting and in childcare. I have been with the Paseo Club for 5+ years and have been Kids Club Director since 2021. For me, building a relationship with your kids and watching them blossom over the years has made working at Kids Club such a rewarding experience. I hope to use my skills in childcare and management in the future and continue to make a positive impact on the lives of others.
