A little bit about me

Nurturing young minds is my passion. My four years of experience caring for children have solidified my commitment to their growth and well-being. I am patient, creative, and friendly, always striving to create a positive and engaging environment. I have taken Early Child Development Coursework, and I am certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. Communication is key, so I provide daily reports, verbal updates at pickup, and regular texts. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games. Knowing I can support your family while fostering your child's development brings me joy. I too had Nannie's and babysitters growing up so it is easy for me to understand the necessary commitment and consistency for a child's development.
