A little bit about me
Nurturing young minds is something I genuinely enjoy. I have over five years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, including children with special needs. I’m patient, creative, and friendly, and I love keeping kids engaged through outdoor play, crafts, and fun learning activities.
I have hands-on experience with potty training, pacifier weaning, and milk weaning, and I’m comfortable following household routines and rules. I’m also an animal lover and happy to help with pets.
Clear communication is important to me, and I’m glad to provide updates in whatever way works best for your family. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have some college education, and have my own reliable transportation.
I truly enjoy being part of children’s growth and milestones, and I’d love to bring my experience, reliability, and enthusiasm to your family.
