A little bit about me

I’m a recent Duke University college graduate with a dual degree in English and psychology, with a focus on human development and education. With a calm and positive personality, I have 4 years of experience in childcare in my various roles as a babysitter, camp counselor, and literacy tutor.

I hold certifications for CPR, First aid, and Food Allergens. Additionally, am an intermediate Spanish and Mandarin speaker. I have experience aiding families with meal prep, pets care, house care, light cleaning tasks, providing tutoring and literacy aid, and engaging in developmentally appropriate opportunities for play and learning.

I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 and am able to provide care only for families in which all eligible adults, pets, and children in the household are fully vaccinated. Please feel free to reach out if I sound like I may be a good fit for your family’s weekend and/or evening care needs. I look forward to connecting with you.
