I’ve always been drawn to childcare because there is nothing more rewarding than being a part of a child’s growth and seeing the world through their eyes. I love building genuine connections and creating a supportive environment where kids feel seen and encouraged. While I am transitioning into professional childcare, I have been caring for children for over a decade. Growing up in a large family, I began babysitting at 12 and have been the go-to caregiver for many children in my life ever since. My experience spans all ages and includes everything from managing daily routines and meal prep to assisting with homework and educational support. I’m very comfortable adapting to different personalities and household dynamics. I bring a unique blend of safety and creativity to my work: Safety & Medical: I am fully CPR and First Aid certified. This training was a core requirement of my previous background Read more in physical security, so I am highly observant and calm in high-pressure situations. Engagement: I specialize in 'boredom-busting.' I’m very creative with playtime and enjoy leading arts and crafts projects or active outdoor play. Household Harmony: I am a proud 'dog and cat mom' and am very comfortable caring for pets. Soft Skills: I pride myself on being patient, energetic, and highly adaptable to whatever a child needs—whether that’s a quiet reading session or a high-energy game.
