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.
