A little bit about me

Hi families! I’ve had a passion for childcare for as long as I can remember. From helping in my aunt’s home daycare as a child to babysitting since age 13, caring for children has always been a joyful part of my life. I truly love being a part of a child’s growth and development, and helping build confidence, motivation, and happy memories they can carry for years to come.

I’m also a proud mom of three successful adult children (26, 25, and 19), so I understand the importance of patience, encouragement, structure, and fun. I taught my younger brother how to read when I was just 10 years old, and I still enjoy creating learning moments through play, arts and crafts, storytelling, cartoons, and Disney+ movie nights.

My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, creative, and uplifting environment where children feel supported, seen, and happy.

A little bit about me

I’m a warm, steady caregiver with a college degree and several years of professional experience. I’ve worked with children from infancy through elementary age, including caring for siblings and managing the flow of a three-child household. I’m at my best creating a calm, engaging rhythm for the day—balancing routines, play, learning, and whatever each child uniquely needs. I’m looking for a long-term role with a family who values clear communication, mutual respect, and a trusted partner in their children’s care. I’m also a big reader and would love to help nurture a love of books in your home.
