Hi! I’m a rising senior in college with over four years of experience in early childhood education and childcare. I’ve worked with children ranging from 6 months to 6 years old in both classroom and one-on-one settings, helping them learn, play, and grow in a safe and nurturing environment. I love creating fun, engaging activities while providing dependable, attentive care that gives parents peace of mind. I’m patient, responsible, energetic, and passionate about helping children reach important developmental milestones. Whether it’s playtime, bedtime, meals, or learning activities, I strive to make every child feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to getting to know your family!
