I would describe myself as kind, compassionate, patient, and responsible. My background in nursing has made me especially comfortable staying calm, attentive, and safety-conscious, while still making sure kids are having fun and feel comfortable with me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know their individual personalities, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, doing crafts, or just being a caring and reliable presence.
