I've been working with children for over five years as a trusted babysitter and also have experience as a substitute teacher. I'm passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where kids can thrive. My background has given me the skills to handle a wide range of ages and personalities, and I always aim to bring patience, creativity, and responsibility to every family I work with. It's most important to me to find entertaining and engaging educational activities for children to explore! Whether we go to the library to pick out books or to the children's museum for some bands on learning, I always try my best to keep the children engaged in the world while learning new things! I am CPR and first aid certified, have a reliable and safe vehicle, and have plenty of references!
