A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nataly and I’m 19 years old turning 20 in August. I’ve always had a natural love for caring for children and making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I’m a patient, responsible, and positive person who enjoys creating fun and educational moments with kids, whether we’re playing, reading, or just talking. I’m currently working on building my future as an esthetician and I love opportunities that allow me to grow while doing something meaningful; like helping families and being there for their little ones. I take pride in showing up with a good attitude and a caring heart. I love wellness and take pride in self care as well!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a caring and experienced childcare provider with over five years of experience working with children, including two years as a classroom teacher. I’m currently in graduate school studying school counseling, which has deepened my focus on social-emotional learning and helping children feel safe, supported, and understood.

I bring a calm, empathetic and patient energy to every day and enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and independence. I’m dependable, nurturing, and love building strong relationships with both children and families. I’m available full-time during the summer and looking for a part-time (3-day) position during the school year to accommodate my graduate classes.
