I began babysitting for family friends when I was around 15 or 16 years old. During this time, I cared for children of various ages, including a child with special needs who was particularly energetic. This experience taught me patience and adaptability, as well as how to create a supportive and engaging environment for children. Later, I worked at a startup daycare where I cared for children aged 4-5 years old. My responsibilities included: • Preparing healthy snacks • Managing nap times • Organizing playtime and educational activities • Reading stories and engaging in fun activities • Building trust and connections with the children to help them feel comfortable and secure while their parents were away

I have always had a natural connection with children and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. For about two to three years, I cared for my younger cousins, which deepened my passion for working with kids and engaging them in fun, creative, and meaningful activities. In addition to childcare, I take pride in helping others by assisting with household chores and contributing to a clean, organized environment. I find fulfillment in supporting families and making daily life a little easier for those around me.
