A little bit about me

I’m passionate about making a positive impact on kids’ lives and enjoy supporting families by providing dependable, caring supervision. I have past babysitting experience, including caring for a toddler, and recently worked as a PCA in an autistic support classroom in an elementary school with students from grades 1–6. That role gave me the chance to work with kids of various ages and needs, helping me become more patient, adaptable, and creative. I enjoy keeping children engaged with activities like outdoor play, board games, and simple crafts, and I’m comfortable following household routines and rules. I’m also active in my church community and attend services every Sunday, which has taught me the importance of kindness, patience, and treating others with respect. I’m currently in cosmetology school, and I bring the same dedication and focus I have in my studies to caring for children.
