I'm passionate about supporting families and fostering children's growth and development. I have 10 years of experience as a childcare provider. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children between the ages of 0-11. Parents can expect regular updates on their child's day, either through verbal communication at pickup, regular text messages, or phone calls (whichever they prefer). I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules. I'm patient, calm, creative, imaginative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, physical games, board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. In addition to English, I also speak Spanish. I am comfortable with pets. I would love to meet you and your family to discuss your childcare needs.
