A little bit about me

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion.

With eight years of experience caring for children ages one to 11, and a current Graduate Level Social Work student, I focus on fostering growth through creative play and educational games. My background includes a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and relevant early childhood coursework, which informs my patient and calm approach to care. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications to ensure a safe environment. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or working on crafts, I love engaging children in meaningful ways. I am happy to assist with light housekeeping or travel, and | always follow your lead regarding household rules. I value open communication and will provide updates in whichever format you prefer. I truly look forward to becoming a supportive, reliable partner in your family!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I supported students as a Teacher’s Aide and Tutor by helping with academics, language development, and creating positive learning environments. I also worked closely with families to connect them with educational and community resources, while providing guidance and support tailored to each child’s needs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I planned and led engaging activities for TK students that focused on early literacy skills such as learning letters, letter sounds, handwriting, and beginning reading through games, songs, and hands-on learning activities. I also supported fine motor skill development through creative activities like tracing, cutting, coloring, sensory play, and interactive movement games. In addition, I helped lead social-emotional and mental health activities, including calming exercises, breathing wand crafts, mindfulness techniques, and other fun educational games designed to help students build confidence, self-regulation, and positive classroom interactions.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience working with children with special needs includes using de-escalation and calming techniques to support children when they become overwhelmed or overstimulated. I encouraged participation in activities that promoted independence and confidence while always maintaining a safe and supportive environment. I also helped create consistent routines that encouraged growth, familiarity, and positive daily structure for each student.
