I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to support children as they grow, learn, and explore the world around them. There’s something incredibly rewarding about building trust with a child and creating a safe, fun environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids playing, reading, helping them learn, and just being part of their day brings me so much joy. I currently work as a dedicated Teacher’s Aide in a Pre-K classroom, where I assist with daily routines such as teaching, meal prep, and leading engaging circle time activities. I help support children’s development by creating a nurturing and stimulating environment. In addition to my classroom experience, I’ve also provided childcare for family friends over the years. The children I care for tend to form strong bonds with me, and I often hear from parents how much their kids Read more love spending time with me. Through my role as a Teacher’s Aide, I’ve developed strong skills in early childhood education, including classroom management, child safety, and hands-on learning activities. I’m patient, creative, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I also understand how to handle routines, transitions, and emotional regulation with young children. My training and daily work in a school setting have given me the tools to be a calm, responsible, and engaging caregiver.
