A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Jami! I’m currently enrolled in the hairstylist program at the Aveda Institute, and I’ve always been someone who puts my heart into everything I do. I’m naturally nurturing, patient, and creative, and I love forming real connections with people, especially kids. I’m the kind of person who’s always thinking one step ahead, stays calm under pressure, and isn’t afraid to get silly when it makes someone smile. I’ve have experience caring for children and what matters most to me is creating a space where they feel safe, seen, and loved. I believe little moments, like giggling in the grass or reading the same story for the tenth time, it can have the biggest impact. I’m also reliable, organized, and genuinely enjoy being someone families can count on. I’d love to be a positive part of your child’s life and support your family however I can.
