A little bit about me

With 5+ years of experience, I offer dependable care in a safe, nurturing environment. While I can watch the children in my home, I prefer caring for children in the comfort of your home, where they’re most at ease.

I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential specializing in preschool-aged children. I’m also certified in CPR, SIDS prevention, entry-level childcare training, and several other child safety and development courses. Your child’s wellbeing is always my top priority!

I’ve worked with children with different abilities, including those with ADHD, autism, seizure disorders, allergies, and more, so I’m confident in handling a wide range of needs with care and patience.

Childcare is my passion, and I’m confident in my ability to provide a fun, engaging, and safe experience for every child in my care!
