A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Salem, a school counselor with a master's degree in education and years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I've been babysitting and nannying since I was young, and honestly, it's always been one of my favorite things to do. I love helping kids feel safe, seen, and supported, whether that's through imaginative play, homework help, or just being a fun, steady presence in their day. I'm patient, reliable, and genuinely passionate about kids' wellbeing. Families I've worked with know they can count on me to show up with a big smile and a lot of heart!
