I’ve worked with children in both educational and recreational settings for over five years. I served as a Lead Teacher at early learning centers, taught art classes to toddlers and school-aged kids through city recreation programs, and also provided in-home early childhood care as a private educator. These roles gave me experience with a wide age range—from toddlers to preteens—helping with everything from lesson planning to social-emotional development. I love being a sitter because it allows me to support children’s growth in a more personal and nurturing setting. I enjoy creating safe, engaging environments where kids can express themselves, explore their creativity, and feel genuinely cared for. Watching their personalities develop and being part of their daily learning moments is incredibly rewarding to me. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts and extensive training in classroom management, curriculum development, and early childhood education. My skills include creating structured, fun routines; Read more using art to encourage self-expression and fine motor skills; and strong communication with both children and parents.
