A little bit about me

I am a passionate and responsible caregiver with experience working with children of all ages and abilities.
I have cared for three siblings, ran my own summer camp for five children, and worked as an inclusion aide at NWSRA providing one-on-one support for children with special needs. I have also coached youth soccer, which has strengthened my leadership and teamwork skills. I absolutely love working with children and am currently majoring in Education to become an English teacher, bringing both enthusiasm and a strong understanding of child development to every family I work with.

A little bit about me

As the oldest of four younger brothers and two little sisters, I’ve spent a lot of time babysitting and looking out for my siblings. I am comfortable with all ages, and when it comes to it pet care as well. I’m reliable and quick to pick up new things, especially after working with kids who have special needs like ADHD, ADD, ODD, Autism, and Williams Syndrome. I love finding ways to make things fun, but I always make sure everyone’s safe and things go smoothly.
