A little bit about me

I am a motivated and responsible individual who takes pride in balancing multiple priorities. I am currently in school while also building my own business, which has taught me strong time management, discipline, and communication skills. Despite my busy schedule, I always make time for what matters to me—especially working with children. I have experience caring for a 1–1.5-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 7-year-old at the same time, where I successfully managed different routines, needs, and personalities. I am patient, reliable, and energetic, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. Working with children is something I’m passionate about, and I’m committed to showing up fully and giving them the attention and care they deserve.

A little bit about me

I ran a home daycare for 18 years, raised 3 children and several of their friends. I am 52 years old and have been married for 26 years. I love to play and be silly. I believe childhood is the only time there is to just have fun, explore the world and learn with love and kindness.

A little bit about me

Hello. My name is Carey and I am a mom of two children, both in middle school. While putting myself through college, years ago, I worked in a couple of child care centers in the Baltimore region. I worked with infants and toddlers. I am a UMBC graduate with a degree in Psychology and a certificate in Early Childhood. I've been an educator in Baltimore, PG and Charles County schools teaching pre-kindergarten and Kindergarten. The world has drastically changed and so has the classroom. I am currently an assistant in the county, but I am looking for a change. I love children tremendously, but I am not ready to turn my back on my love of working with children.
