I love being a sitter because it allows me to directly contribute to the growth and well-being of young children. I enjoy developing and implementing curriculum focused on child development, and organizing activities that foster learning and skill development. Monitoring children for emotional or developmental issues and communicating their progress and concerns to parents is also very important to me. It's incredibly rewarding to know I'm providing a safe and conducive learning environment for them. Being recognized as the VACCYE Educator of The Year 2025 further fuels my passion for direct care and education of young children.
