A little bit about me

Hello! I am a senior majoring in Psychology, having a true passion for working with children and a future career in developmental psychology. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, and anaphylaxis response. I have had 1 year paid childcare experience, but 5+ years of experience caring for a child with special needs in my family. Anything I do not have experience I am willing to learn! I love helping children grow, explore their interests, and build confidence while providing a safe, supportive, and fun environment. Whether it's helping with daily routines, homework, playtime, or new experiences, I enjoy building meaningful connections with children and their families. Feel free to message me with questions, concerns, or to set up a call!
