I truly believe that my passion is working with children and think it's important to not only care for them, but to teach them through creative activities as well.

Hello, I go by Koi and I have two years of floater experience in childcare with toddlers and babies! I'm quiet, attentive, calm-natured, but value firm boundaries and redirection, and like to create a child-led environment fostering independence. I take "lead by example" to heart and value modeling above all else. As a natural-born learner and academic, I am always looking to educate myself on, understand, and find new ideas on supporting your child's development. My favorite activities with kids include outdoor play, using nature to explore creative opportunities, reading, and sensory play.

As a Baker University student specializing in Secondary Education, History, and Religious Studies, I bring a unique blend of academic insight and practical care experience to every role. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) certification and am CPR/AED certified, ensuring I can provide reliable, knowledgeable, and safe care across all age groups—from preschool to high school. My priority is to move beyond simple supervision; I thrive on establishing genuine connections with children and teens of all personalities while confidently managing household needs like meal prep and errands.

I have always loved working with kids! When I was six my twin little sisters were born and I was always eager to help with whatever they needed. I began babysitting for friends and family when I was 13 and have done that off and on for the last 5 years. Last may I began working at a daycare to further my childcare experience, but now I would like to be in an environment where I can focus on a smaller group of children where I can ensure they all receive the love and attention they need. On top of my experience working at the daycare I have worked at multiple restaurants/coffe shops, lifeguarded, and taught swim lessons. I am CPR and first aid certified, I enjoy cooking/baking, and don’t mind some light house cleaning. Contact me if you would like to know anything else about me or my experience!

I am currently a student at Washburn University studying exercise science and will be graduating next May! I ultimately want to have a career in pediatric physical therapy. I am looking forward to hanging out with some fun kiddos!!
