Hello! I'm an experienced and enthusiastic caregiver ready to bring fun and responsible care to your children. For the past six years, I've been the go-to babysitter for my nieces, nephews, and family friends as well. Growing up in a large family, I've been around kids my entire life, which has taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of understanding each child's unique needs. What I love most about working with kids is seeing their joy and excitement as we play and explore together. Whether it's building forts, reading stories, or engaging in imaginative games. I'm also comfortable helping with homework, preparing meals, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. In addition to my experience with children, I'm also comfortable around animals. I understand the importance of pet care and can assist with feeding, walking, and other pet-related tasks. With me, you can rest assured that your children and pets will be in capable and caring hands. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can be a valuable addition to your childcare needs!
