A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Dorcas Omambia, and I am an 18-year-old high school graduate and over 7 years of childcare experience. I began babysitting at age 11 within my family/family friends. I have a strong passion for child development and supporting families.

I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children, including feeding, diapering, sleep routines, playtime, homework help, and daily structure. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported.

I also completed a CTE Early Childhood Education program, where I spent 2 years volunteering in a preschool classroom, assisting teachers, supporting hands-on learning, and observing developmental milestones. I also volunteered in my church nursery.

I am Pediatric CPR and First Aid certified with training in child safety, SIDS prevention, food allergy response, and mandatory reporting. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while giving parents peace of mind.
