Hi! I'm a proud mom to a wonderful 12-year-old son and a baby girl. My journey with childcare began early — I spent most of my preteen and teenage years babysitting, and over a decade later, I still regularly care for my nieces, nephews, and friends' children whenever they need an extra hand. Working with kids brings me genuine joy. Whether it's introducing age-appropriate academics or tapping into their creativity through arts and crafts (my favorite activity!), I love creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. I’m a naturally fun-loving person with a big heart and a deep appreciation for the sweet, curious, and precious energy that kids bring into our lives. Growing up in a big family inspired me to dream of one of my own. Although life and career took me on a different path, I feel incredibly blessed to have my amazing children. They’ve taught me Read more even more about the importance of patience, structure, and the value of routine in a child’s life — qualities I bring into every childcare setting. I'm currently working toward opening my own at-home childcare in the near future. I understand how challenging it can be to find a sitter who truly fits your family’s needs, and that’s why I strive to provide care that is reliable, warm, and tailored to each child. My goal is to build strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children, creating an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and happy.
