When you start sitting from a young age, you learn a few things down the road. 8 years later, I've learned that what I love about sitting is the bond created with the families I've sat for. Not to mention, watching the children grow into beautiful, smart, and gifted human beings. It is truly a privilege to be entrusted with the opportunity to support the development and success of the child/children in my care. I have worked with children ages two to as old as sixteen. I love to create less screen time activities! Allowing children to grow in their own creativity. I am currently working on getting my CPR/First Aid license renewed. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We can discuss availability together!

Working with children has always been something I’ve gravitated towards since I was old enough to get a job! Beginning at 14 I started babysitting and have continued as well as working in jobs and volunteer opportunities surrounding children! I love their creative minds and seeing the exceptional progress children make daily in even the smallest of tasks. What sets me apart from the rest would be my experience with children in all different environments, teaching kids how to understand and speak English, teaching them how to ski and play lacrosse, volunteering in my local elementary schools, as well as the fact that my passion for children and teaching is so strong I am currently studying it in college!
