I’ve always had a natural ability to connect with children and create a safe, positive environment where they can grow and thrive. Taking care of kids isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I’m patient, attentive, and understanding, which helps me meet each child’s unique needs while building trust with both them and their families.

I am currently working as an educational associate for special needs preschoolers. I have a CNA license and have experience with multiple physical and mental disabilities. I prefer working with children ages 2-5, but am willing to care for newborns-11. Because I work at a school district and am in school for social work, I am looking for families that need summer care. I am available approximately from June 1st-August 23rd. I love to take kids to parks or other free community activities. If your family is able and willing to compensate for other activities that have a cost, I would be more than willing to explore these activities with your little ones! Once the school year begins, I will be available for occasional sitting and potentially after school care. I hope I can be a good fit for your family!

I currently am a co-lead infant teacher at my current job so I have a lot of experience working with infants. I am also CPR + First Aid certified! I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.

Working with kids just gives me peace of mind, knowing that I’m helping the child grow learn in so many other different things. I have a lot of younger siblings and I’ve also taken care of other people’s kids. I have a lot of different experience with different age groups. I don’t know if it helps any but I do have a three month old son myself. I do know CPR and I do know first aid. I am not certified, but I have taken classes for them before
