A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a high school senior who is excited to start my journey in professional childcare. While I’m new to babysitting, I’ve had the chance to work with kids through my school’s dance team, as a way to give back to the local community! I’ve led workshops, games, and other activities that help children stay active, express themselves, and most importantly have fun!

Aside from childcare, I am currently a Nursing Assistant student at my high school, which has been a unique experience that has helped me with my communication and problem-solving skills. I also have my Teen Mental Health First Aid certification, and I’m working to get BLS certified this spring! My ultimate goal is to become a pediatrician, so I’ve always had a passion for kids!

I’m looking forward to bringing this experience into a more professional setting and providing care that’s both safe and fun for your little ones!
