I am a patient, caring, loving, and energetic caregiver with experience working with children of all ages, most recently infants and toddlers. I have been working in childcare for the past six years and am now looking for a change where I can provide more personalized, one-on-one care for families. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree to become a developmental therapist, which allows me to bring a strong understanding of child development into my caregiving approach. I love planning and engaging in age-appropriate activities that support learning and growth, such as sensory play, arts and crafts, reading, music, and outdoor exploration. I value creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and happy. I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to support your family and help Read more your little ones thrive.
