Hi families! I’m Victoria, an experienced, nurturing, and dependable caregiver currently pursuing my nursing degree as my **third degree**, with the long-term goal of becoming a Nurse Practitioner and working with children and families. I also hold a B.S. in Biology and a Master’s in Public Health from Columbia University. Because my nursing program is primarily online, I have the flexibility in my schedule to continue doing something I genuinely love while in school, helping care for, nurture, and encourage children. I would love to become a consistent and trusted presence for a family rather than simply someone who “watches the kids.” I have **3 years of paid childcare experience** and have worked with children for many years in daycare, classroom, tutoring, and community settings. During college, I worked in a daycare caring for young children and creating activities that encouraged learning, creativity, and play. I later worked as a Read more 3rd-grade science teacher and tutor, where I loved finding fun ways to make learning exciting and helping children become more confident and curious. My experiences in education and public health have given me an even greater appreciation for how important a child’s early experiences, environment, and relationships are to their development. That passion is also a major reason I chose to pursue nursing and ultimately hope to dedicate my career to caring for children and families. As a sitter, I’m warm, patient, attentive, responsible, and very safety-conscious. I love reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, imaginative play, educational games, and fun science activities. With my teaching and tutoring background, I’m also happy to help with homework, studying, or provide additional academic support. I enjoy learning what each child loves and creating activities around their individual interests and personality. I also have **reliable transportation** and drive a newer Volvo XC40, a vehicle I chose in part because safety is extremely important to me. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s care. My goal is for your children to feel **safe, heard, encouraged, and genuinely cared for**, while giving you peace of mind knowing they are with someone responsible and com

Trust & safety
