I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Hi! I’m a calm, fun, and responsible caregiver with over 4 years of childcare experience. I’m comfortable caring for children from infants to school-age and truly enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. I love doing engaging activities, encouraging learning through play, and spending time outdoors — especially park trips when available. I’m very patient and caring, and I always strive to create a positive, supportive experience for both children and parents. I’m happy to help with meal and snack prep, bedtime routines, homework, and light housekeeping related to the kids. I’m available for occasional babysitting, date nights, or long-term nanny positions, and I have open availability. I look forward to connecting with your family!

love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. Being part of a child’s day, whether through play, routines, or learning moments, is very rewarding for me, and I take pride in creating a positive and supportive experience for both kids and parents. I worked at a daycare for two years, where I gained hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, managing daily routines, and supporting development through structured and unstructured activities. I am also currently a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant, which has given me even more experience working closely with children and supporting their individual needs. Through my daycare and pediatric OT experience, I have strong skills in child development, behavior support, communication, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities. I am trained in working with children with a variety of needs, following routines, ensuring safety, and providing compassionate care. My background helps me bring a calm, knowledgeable, and supportive approach to every family I work with.
