A little bit about me

I thrive in roles where I'm given autonomy to make decisions while knowing support is available when needed. I'm proactive, detail-oriented, and take genuine pride in anticipating needs before they arise—whether that's restocking the pantry, preparing tomorrow's outfits, or planning enriching activities for the children. I value a collaborative partnership with parents where open communication and mutual respect create the foundation for a trusting, long-term relationship.

More About Me

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

My background managing 300+ children in youth ministry at Real Life Church demonstrates my ability to handle multiple priorities, ensure safety, and create structured yet joyful environments. I'm CPR, BLS, and First Aid certified, and my healthcare background as a phlebotomist taught me how to stay calm under pressure and communicate with compassion.

I have baby sat, nannyed, and been a caregiver in my career. I love to be a helping hand.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

is engaging in their natural curiosity—they're like little scientists, constantly exploring and discovering the world around them. I love to create meaningful rituals and learning experiences that the kids looked forward to every day:
Baking Adventures: The children loved baking, so we baked all kinds of things together—from cookies to bread to elaborate birthday cakes. I made teaching them kitchen safety fun rather than scary, turning measuring ingredients into math lessons and discussing the science behind why things rise or brown.
Science Experiments: We conducted safe, age-appropriate experiments that sparked their curiosity and taught them to ask "why?" and "what if?" These weren't just activities—they were opportunities to show kids that learning is exciting. They learned kitchen safety, nutrition, and life skills while having fun and feeling accomplished. I believe children thrive when they feel trusted, valued, and excited to learn.

My experience with special needs children...

Through my work as both a nanny and Home Care Aide, I've developed expertise in creating structured, supportive environments that help children thrive while celebrating their unique strengths. I'm trained in patient care, infection control, and promoting independence while respecting each child's capabilities. What I value most is building genuine connections—meeting children where they are, advocating for their needs, and helping families navigate daily challenges with understanding and practical solutions.
