A little bit about me

I’m a 19-year-old student at the University of Arizona majoring in Early Childhood Education, and I’ve always had a natural connection with kids. Their curiosity and pure way of seeing the world inspire me, and I love creating fun, supportive environments where they feel safe, happy, and heard. I have five years of babysitting experience, completed a six-month internship in a second-grade classroom at Henking Elementary, and have taken four years of child development classes that gave me hands-on experience and insight into how children learn and grow. I also worked at a frozen yogurt shop, where I got lots of practice interacting with young kids and families in a fast-paced, friendly setting. I’m patient, creative, and reliable. I'm super comfortable helping with routines, planning engaging activities, and supporting a variety of personalities and needs. I’d love to bring my passion for early childhood learning into your home and help your little ones thrive!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Relevant experiences where I also cared for children include a six-month internship in a second-grade classroom at Henking Elementary, years of babysitting for local families, and four years of hands-on child development classes.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include creative crafts, interactive storytime, educational games, outdoor play, and simple baking or snack-making projects. I love encouraging imagination and helping them learn through play.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part about being a nanny/babysitter is creating a safe, loving environment where children feel supported, understood, and free to be themselves. It’s not just about watching them, but it’s about showing up with patience, kindness, and consistency so they feel secure and cared for every day.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children was when I became a peer mentor at my high school, Glenbrook South. I did that for two years, where I worked closely with a girl who had cerebral palsy and faced challenges with communication. Through that experience, I learned how to build trust, use nonverbal cues, and support her needs with patience, consistency, and empathy. It helped me grow in my ability to connect with children who express themselves differently and showed me how important it is to create a space where every child feels seen and supported.
