A little bit about me

With over 5 years of experience in childcare, starting in middle school, I have honed my skills as a caregiver and a daycare instructor. Being the oldest among my siblings, I naturally assumed responsibility for nurturing and guiding them from a young age. This early exposure instilled a deep sense of responsibility and empathy towards children's needs. Throughout my professional career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their development. Additionally, my role as a daycare instructor has further enriched my understanding of child psychology and effective engagement strategies. I've worked for multiple summers as a theatre camp counselor, so I'm well-versed in nurturing children's creative interests. I am recently CPR certified. My childcare approach emphasizes creative and educational activities tailored to each child's interests and developmental stage.
