A little bit about me
Hi! I’m in my mid-twenties and live in Providence. I graduated with a BA from Wheaton College almost three years ago and have worked in two elementary schools, a daycare where I worked with infants, and have been babysitting for years. I have reliable transportation (and have a clean driving record), am CPR & First Aid certified, am a non-smoker, and can provide great professional references.
I love working with kids and completed an Americorps program where I was a student success coach at Bailey Elementary School. As a success coach, I provided students with academic support in math, English, and science in addition to helping develop their socio-emotional skills in and outside of the classroom.
In my free time, my hobbies include coloring (I LOVE coloring books and markers!!), reading, and listening to music. I love being outside and going for walks as well.
I would describe myself as kind, caring, trusting, loving, adaptable, and friendly.

A little bit about me
Hello!! My name is winifer and I'm someone who finds joy in caring for both animals and children, cherishing their innocence and companionship. Creating a clean, safe environment is a priority for me, as I believe it fosters peace and well-being. Cooking and cleaning are not just tasks but sources of satisfaction, as they contribute to a harmonious living space. Music is my constant companion, soothing and inspiring me in equal measure. Going on walks allows me to connect with nature and clear my mind. Above all, kindness and warmth define me, as I strive to spread positivity wherever I go.
