A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Harmony. I’m 22 years old, and I’ve been working with children since high school. I’ve always had a genuine love for kids, and I’ve gained experience through coaching gymnastics, working as a lead infant teacher, and caring for the children of friends and family.

I’m very family-oriented and currently have four nieces who I love spending time with. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, and trying new things that challenge me to step outside my comfort zone.

Working with children is something I’m truly passionate about. I take pride in creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel comfortable!

A little bit about me

I have my one year old son along side with me, I have extensive childcare experience from growing up in a large family with 12 younger siblings and more than 40 cousins. From a young age, I regularly babysat and cared for children of all ages, both for family members and as a paid babysitter during summers and evenings.

My experience includes preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, managing bedtime routines, diaper changes, potty training, and caring for multiple children at once. I am patient, dependable, nurturing, and comfortable working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children.

As a mother myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I take pride in being attentive, responsible, and creating positive relationships with both children and parents.
