I have extensive experience and a passion for working with kids! My top values in child care are respect, patience, flexibility, and reliability. I prioritize creating safe and enriching environments and have been working as a sitter and nanny for as long as it has been legal for me to work. I am a nursing student with training in first aid, therapeutic crisis intervention, and behavioral therapies, with experience working with both neurotypical children and those who have special needs, including Autism, ADHD, depression, OCD, anxiety, and severe trauma. I am a team player who is confident working with all demographics. I come into jobs with the mindset of going above and beyond what is required, curating a “mystery bag” (ex. Appropriate toys, activity books, pre-approved treats, art supplies, etc.) to keep each hang out engaging and interesting. I understand the relationship with parents and family members is just as Read more important as connecting with kids, emphasizing transparency and effective communication. I am always willing to work with parents to create agendas, document activities, and create behavioral plans. I am responsible, active, creative, adventurous, and honest. Don’t hesitate to connect with me if you think I could be a good fit for your family!
