I absolutely love working with children and creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable being themselves.I have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities, and I’m comfortable with everything from keeping little ones entertained and on a routine to helping with homework, activities, meals, bedtime, and those inevitable big feelings. My background in psychology and counseling has also given me a strong understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the importance of being patient, attentive, and supportive.I’m CPR certified, have professional references available, and take the responsibility of caring for someone’s child very seriously.
