A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Mai, and I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I grew up in a household with five siblings, three of whom are younger, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I also spent time helping my aunt with her home daycare, which is where I truly fell in love with working with kids and gained experience with children of different personalities and needs.

Professionally, I worked for two years at Stepping Stones Learning Centers, where I cared for infants, toddlers, and five-year-olds, supporting their daily routines, learning, and development. I also worked at the YMCA as a counselor and summer camp counselor, working with elementary and middle school students in structured, safe, and engaging environments. In addition, I have experience working with children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, empathy, and individualized care.
