A little bit about me

Coming from a large family with four older siblings and over 30 first cousins, I have always been surrounded by children. Whether spending time with my siblings’ children or helping care for younger cousins, working with kids has always come naturally to me. Toward the end of middle school, I began babysitting for families in my neighborhood. Through word of mouth, I quickly built relationships with multiple families and gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities.

What families appreciate most about me is that I actively engage with the children rather than simply supervise them. I enjoy creating scavenger hunts, playing imaginative games, swimming, and encouraging creativity through hands-on activities. I strive to limit screen time and focus on building meaningful relationships with the children I care for. Babysitting and nannying have been my primary jobs for years, making it a field where I feel both confident and passionate.
