Caring for children has always come naturally to me. I'm a calm, patient, and attentive caregiver who values safety, structure, and emotional connection. As a mother, I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your child with someone you trust. I enjoy engaging kids through play, reading, and routines that support their development while keeping them happy and secure. I'm reliable, communicative, and take pride in being someone families can depend on. Experience: 2012-2019 On-Site Daycare Staff/ Manager Responsible for anywhere from 3-13+ children at a time with max 1-2 other staff. Age range on these children were anywhere from 6 weeks to 10+ years old. Playtime, nap time, sleep training, meal-prep, diaper changes, potty training, early education/ homework help, and "field trips" (example pumpkin farm). 2019-2024 Nanny Responsible for helping take care of my CEO's children once she found out I had the experience. I worked for Read more her on the business side as well as taking care of her 3 children. Assisted with virtual learning for her oldest during Covid. In addition, I was responsible for playtime, nap time, crafts, traveling to/from school and extracurriculars, traveling companion for children on flights in/out of the country, home decoration during holidays, cleaning, ad meal prep for family. I'm happy to go into more detail or answer any questions someone might have about me or my experience. Thank you! *CPR & AED Certified *I am hoping to find a family that is comfortable with my 1 year old son accompanying me, but absolutely fine if not.
