Working with children comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a safe, welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves while learning, playing, and growing. I believe children thrive when they feel supported, understood, and encouraged, and I bring a calm, positive energy into my work each day. I actively engage children through age-appropriate education, play, and daily routines, helping them build structure, confidence, and social skills. Whether it’s assisting with learning activities, encouraging creative play, or maintaining consistent routines, I focus on making each day feel balanced, fun, and supportive. With a background in nursing education and hands-on caregiving, I am attentive to both physical and emotional needs. I’m patient, observant, and responsive, and I work well as part of a team to ensure children feel safe, cared for, and
Trust & safety
