I'm a nurturing firstborn and current psychology student with years of hands-on caregiving experience. Growing up as the big sister, I naturally took on the role of caregiver; managing routines, providing emotional support, and creating a safe, fun environment for my younger brother as well as cousins. That experience, combined with my studies in psychology, has given me a deeper understanding of children’s needs, development, and emotions. Parents describe me as dependable, patient, and engaging, and I love making kids feel both cared for and excited to learn and play. Whether it’s after-school routines, weekend care, or special occasions, I bring warmth, responsibility, and a genuine love for children to every family I work with.
