A little bit about me
As an experienced child carer and devoted mother to a now-teen premature baby, I bring deep compassion and understanding to every child I care for. With added experience in hospitality, I'm well-versed in allergies especially food-related. With still my added experience as a caregiver (licensed HHA and CNA), I'm more informed and sensitive about the child's health, prevention and safety procedures. My CPR and First Aid certification ensures every child's safety is a top priority.

A little bit about me
I am a responsible, patient, and loving childcare provider with over two years of experience as an au pair in the United States. As the eldest of seven siblings, I began caring for two of my younger brothers at the age of 14 while my mother worked full-time. My natural maturity and strong sense of responsibility allowed me to manage their daily needs with confidence. I also helped care for my baby cousin, whom I love like a niece, since she was an infant. These early experiences shaped my passion for childcare and taught me how to nurture, guide, and support children with love and structure. I specialize in creating safe, stimulating, and emotionally supportive environments where children can grow happily.

A little bit about me
I am a certified EMT-B and have over 3 years of experience preforming lifesaving and routine interventions for pediatric and adult patients. I helped raise my two siblings, one of which has ASD, and I have held a CPR certification since I was 13 years old. I have a BS in Biology and I begin medical school in July, 2026. I am very passionate about engaging with kids and keeping them active mentally and physically. I am always willing to learn and adapt to established routines and behaviors. I am happy to help with pets too! I am looking to work long days (up to 12 hours) with the potential of “call-ins” if there are any last-minute plans or emergencies. I am also happy to work overnight shifts if need be!
