I am a caring, responsible, and experienced childcare provider with 3–4 years of hands-on experience working in a daycare setting with children ranging from infants to school-age. In addition to my daycare background, I have provided one-on-one babysitting for a 1-year-old, giving me strong experience with routines, feeding, and early developmental support. I currently work in a school as a special class aide, where I support children with diverse learning and developmental needs. This role has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for every child. I am also in graduate school pursuing my Master’s degree in Speech and Language Therapy, which gives me a deeper understanding of child development, communication, and early learning. I love engaging children in fun, educational activities while ensuring they feel safe, supported, and happy.

• I developed a love for caring and dealing with kids at an early age myself because I grew up in a tight knit family and watched over my younger cousins. My career goal is to work in the NICU as a nurse so children themselves are my passion! • Though no outside of family experience I am the most reliable known for babysitting in my family and all the parents rely on me when they want to have date-nights..etc • I have most of my experience with toddlers so I understand their train of thoughts and how to work with them as well as with young teens I myself understand how to deal with their feelings/emotions.
