I’ve spent the last two years immersed in childcare, and I can honestly say it’s one of my greatest passions. Growing up as the older sister of five, I’ve always had a natural inclination to care for others. From a young age, I took on the responsibility of looking after my siblings, which laid the foundation for my love of working with children. Every day in my childcare role feels like an adventure. I thrive on the energy and curiosity that children bring into the world. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or simply being there to listen, I find immense joy in nurturing their development. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, learn, and discover new things. I believe that every child is unique, and I strive to create a supportive environment where they can express themselves freely. My experience with my siblings has taught me patience and empathy, qualities that I carry into my work every day. I truly love what I do, and I can’t imagine my life without the laughter and joy that working with children brings me.

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged. I’ve been babysitting for as long as I can remember. I have experience with children of various ages and have spent a lot of time caring for my own niece and two nephews, whom I absolutely adore. Through years of childcare, I’ve handled everything from daily routines and playtime to school pick-ups, meals, and bedtime. I’m very comfortable stepping into a family’s routine and helping things run smoothly. I have an educational background in Human Development and Family Studies, which has given me a strong understanding of child development. I’m confident in providing developmentally appropriate activities, learning opportunities, and structure that support each child’s growth. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I’m always happy to help with light household tasks, errands, and driving kids to activities. My goal is to feel like part of the family, someone the kids trust and enjoy spending time with, and someone the parents feel comfortable relying on as a true family support.
