Hi, I’m a graduate medical student, former medic, and mom to a toddler (2.5yr old boy who is so sweet and playful). I’ve worked in healthcare for over 10 years, so being calm, attentive, safety minded, and comfortable in unpredictable situations comes very naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy being with kids, especially infants and toddlers. I’m comfortable with everything from coming up with creative activities, outdoor playtime, meals, and naps to bedtime routines, transitions, and just helping little ones feel secure and cared for. I’m trained in CPR/first aid and bring a strong safety background, but I’m also warm, playful, and very hands on. I can speak Spanish, Arabic, or French if that's something you would like. I also have experience as a camp counselor, so I’m just as comfortable engaging with older kids- whether that’s keeping them active, helping with homework, doing creative activities, or simply making sure Read more they’re having fun and feel supported. As a parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone, and I take that seriously. I’m available for date nights, weekend care, backup help, and occasional sitting. Some weekends I have full availability for solo care. For families who like the idea, I can also offer the option of bringing my toddler for shared play for children who enjoy having a little buddy around, but that’s always optional. I’d love to be a reliable, trustworthy extra set of hands for your family.
