As someone who grew up in a big family, I’ve always been surrounded by little ones—and I genuinely love helping them grow, learn, and thrive. I spent several years teaching preschool and hold a certificate in Early Childhood Education, so I’m well-versed in age-appropriate learning milestones, from early literacy and fine motor skills to social-emotional development.During the pandemic, I tutored elementary school students, supporting both their academic progress and emotional well-being during a challenging time. I bring that same thoughtful approach to babysitting—whether we’re building forts, crafting with playdough, or practicing sight words through silly games.I’m big on smooth transitions and gentle redirection to keep things flowing peacefully. Safety is always my top priority, and I work hard to create a calm, engaging environment where kids feel secure and supported. Whether your child needs a playmate, a tutor, or just someone to listen, I’m here to help them shine.
