A little bit about me

Fuelled by a genuine passion for children's growth, I'm eager to positively impact young lives. I've cared for children aged 0-11, and I'm comfortable with up to three children. I have a college degree and coursework in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I provide verbal updates at pickup and follow your preferred communication method. I'm excited to contribute to your family's well-being and create a nurturing environment where your children can thrive.
