I am in the process of continuing my bachelor's degree sometime in Fall 2026 at Southern New Hampshire University! I have a lot of experience house sitting, working with/babysitting kids ( 8-14) who have disabilities, and those who don't.

I am 18 years old and have over 4 years of hands-on experience caring for children, from 6 months to 13 years old.

Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in caring for children of all ages, including feeding, changing, nap routines, homework assistance, and organizing fun and educational activities. I especially enjoy planning creative play, arts and crafts, outdoor activities. I value building strong and trusting relationships not only with the children but also with their families.
