I’m a creative, curious, patient, responsible, and disciplined person with 10+ years of experience taking care of children, especially from 1–2 months old through 5 years old. I also have experience with elementary and middle school-aged kids, including school pick-up and drop-off. Something that is very important to mention is that throughout all of my experiences, I’ve applied my knowledge of the Montessori methodology and gentle parenting. I really value creating a respectful, calm, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, independent, and supported. Some of the activities I enjoy doing with kids: Planning an age-appropriate activity schedule Playing together and encouraging independent play Going to the library Stretching and movement activities Planning and hosting playdates Reading and coloring at home Arts & crafts, which is also one of my hobbies Dancing and music Cleaning up together and involving kids in light housekeeping activities. Overall making sure they are Read more safe. Additional support I can provide: Kids’ laundry, meal and snack preparation based on healthy nutrition, Light household-related tasks. I’m certified in Nutrition, and healthy nutrition and working out are priorities in my own lifestyle as well. I’m also open to taking on additional household-related responsibilities for an extra cost. CPR & First Aid trained NJ driver’s license Vaccines up to date References available Outside of work, I enjoy having good conversations and learning from others. Reading, listening to music, walking my dog Chai, politics, cooking with natural ingredients, and working out are all part of my everyday life. When something is entrusted to me, I like to make sure it gets done well. I’m organized and proactive. I like making to-do lists, planning ahead, staying active, and paying attention to what’s happening around me so I can react quickly when something unexpected comes up. Families I’ve worked with have recognized me as someone who takes initiative and can quickly understand what needs to be done. I never take the trust parents place in me for granted. I value that trust deeply and honor it through my work, my commitment, and the way I care for their children.

Trust & safety
