Hi! I’m an 18-year-old college student-athlete who is CPR certified and passionate about working with kids of all ages. I bring a lot of energy, responsibility, and patience into everything I do, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or keeping routines on track.

Balancing academics and athletics has taught me strong time management and reliability, and I’m excited to bring that same dedication to supporting families and caring for their children

A little bit about me
Welcome! I'm a 19 yr old freshman in college and CPR certified. My experience comes from caring for my younger siblings, who are now 9-13 and have had past families to babysit. When it came to childcare, I always had a warm friendly approach since I became involved. I started to enjoy it when I loved teasing little kids to tutoring. I'm comfortable watching multiple kids and love keeping them entertained with fun activities like crafts, outdoor games, and technology based apps. I don't mind light housework or changing diapers as needed. I'm also open to preparing meals since I grew up helping my mom cook asian dishes and fed them to my younger siblings. When it comes to discipline, I'm comfortable reassuring them of safety and household rules. I believe patience and communication is key. I have had professional experience in the fast food industry, as well as retail and grocery. So l tend to prioritize cleanliness, communication, and well-being. Feel free to ask questions! :)

Hi there! I am a 23 year old college student majoring in elementary education! I currently work for the YMCA leading the before and after school program and love working with kids. I have 2 years of paid experience with kids and 5 years of residential and commercial cleaning. I am CPR/First aid certified. I prioritize open communication with parents and follow their preferred methods to discuss their child’s day and I believe in aligning with parents’ approach to assure consistency. I find joy in supporting families by providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for their children. My passion for early childhood education is reflected in the diverse range of games and activities I enjoy providing for the children. I have my own transportation and wouldn’t mind transporting from school or activities. I’m a non smoker, pet friendly, and I’m open to housekeeping. I look forward to working for you and your family.
