A little bit about me

Caring for children is more than a job for me it’s a true calling. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and bring a nurturing, attentive, and responsible approach to childcare. I value respect, kindness, honesty, and integrity, which guide how I show up every day.

I’m a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), with experience supporting children’s behavioral and developmental needs in a structured, patient way. I began caring for children in my teens and have since worked full-time with families, building strong, lasting relationships.

I also have experience as a summer camp counselor, managing multiple children in group settings. I enjoy cooking healthy meals, keeping a clean, organized home, and engaging kids through play, learning, and outings.

I’m seeking a long-term role with a family that values trust and consistency.
