I’ve been a Certified Nursing Assistant for almost 6 years, and caregiving has truly become a passion of mine. I love being a caregiver because it allows me to bring comfort, support, and companionship to individuals who need it most. Being able to make someone’s day easier, safer, and more joyful is the part of this work that means the most to me. With 5+ years of hands-on experience, I’ve supported clients with daily living activities, mobility assistance, dementia and memory care, meal prep, feeding, hygiene, housekeeping, and companionship. I’m patient, dependable, and very attentive to each person’s unique needs. Along with my CNA training, I’m skilled in safe transfers, infection control, communication, and providing respectful, person-centered care. My goal is always to give families peace of mind by creating a safe, supportive environment and caring for their loved ones with kindness and professionalism.

Caring for children has always been my greatest joy. With hands-on experience working in a hospital setting, I bring not only compassion but also responsibility and attentiveness to every family I work with. As a proud parent myself, I understand the patience, creativity, and nurturing care that little ones need to thrive. I love engaging kids in fun, safe activities that help them learn and grow, while giving parents peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, or bedtime routines, I’m dedicated to making each moment positive and reassuring. Families can count on me to treat their children with the same love and care I give my own!

I love working with kids and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe with. I have experience caring for my younger cousins (ages 2 and 4), and I’ve gained a lot of experience keeping little ones entertained, managing routines, and helping with daily tasks. I also help my younger brother with homework, so I’m comfortable supporting schoolwork and learning. I’m a college student, CPR and First Aid certified, and currently a lifeguard so safety and responsibility are always priorities for me. I stay calm under pressure, respond quickly in emergencies, and enjoy helping kids learn and grow. I am also a housekeeper so i'm comfortable cleaning up messes and getting my hands dirty.
