That experience taught me patience, creativity, and how to make learning playful.I love engaging children with games, crafts, and movement activities tailored to their interests.

My name is Precious and I have always grown up taking care of my cousins, brother, and just loved one’s children and it wasn’t until I graduated that I started to get paid from it. I do major in Biology and I know I will be around kids in the future for the job I would like so I wanted to gain more experience with babysitting/nannying or even just being a mommy’s helper. Since then, I have been around kids from months old up to 13 year olds. I find joy when parents tell me that I am good with the kid(s) or when I could see that the kid(s) has slowly started to become more & more comfortable with me. I am reliable, patient, understanding, and fully equipped to help out!
