hey families! I’m empathetic, open-minded, and pragmatic. I love working with children because they’ve taught me to communicate clearly and sincerely. I value their curiosity, authenticity, and sensitivity, and enjoy learning and growing alongside them. I’m looking for a job where I can build genuine, sibling-like relationships—spending time outdoors, being creative, and making learning fun—while sharing my culture with an open-minded family. I began working with kids in high school, volunteering in a library and teaching horseback riding, later worked as a substitute teacher, and spent two years in the U.S. as an au pair. In my spare time, I enjoy baking, reading, the gym, and sharing fun activities with kids… and my tiramisù is wicked delicious! My skills include childcare, meal prep, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and multilingual communication.

I am passionate about working with children because I find immense joy in supporting their growth and development. My journey began as a babysitter at just 12 years old, and I've since worked with both preschoolers and school-aged children in various settings. Currently, I am a preschool and school-age teacher, but I am looking to transition back to babysitting. As I near the completion of my bachelor’s degree in Early Education, I’m excited about returning to babysitting. I look forward to creating a fun and supportive environment where children can enjoy their time and feel cared for. I as well have had a background check done and can be provided!
