A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m a 19-year-old college student at Hudson Valley Community College studying Business Administration. I have about 7 years of hands-on experience working with children, ranging from infants to teenagers (up to ages 14–15).
I worked as a camp counselor for 5 years, where I led activities, supervised groups, and built strong relationships with kids in a fun and safe environment. I also have nearly 2 years of experience as an assistant teacher in a daycare, where I helped with daily routines, learning activities, and overall classroom care.
I’m responsible, patient, and energetic, and I truly enjoy creating a positive, engaging, and safe environment for children. I’m comfortable caring for multiple age groups and adapting to each child’s needs. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, attentive care.
