A little bit about me

I’m an 18-year-old college student currently attending Malcolm X College with hands-on experience caring for children, especially infants and toddlers. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping, meal prepping, and helping with daily routines as needed. I’m available in the mornings for extra support and have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to assist with activities, nap schedules, homework basics, and errands. I’m open to flexible scheduling, weekends, and building a long-term relationship with a family.
