Caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have over seven years of experience working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and I love building meaningful relationships with the families I work with. Every child is unique, and I strive to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow.Throughout the years, I have cared for infants by preparing bottles, changing diapers, following feeding and nap schedules, and providing attentive, nurturing care. With toddlers and older children, I enjoy planning creative activities, helping with homework, preparing healthy meals and snacks, encouraging outdoor play, and maintaining consistent daily routines. I also assist with light housekeeping related to childcare, including tidying play areas, washing bottles and dishes, and childrenβs laundry.I pride myself on being patient, dependable, and attentive, and I understand the importance of earning a familyβs trust. My goal is always to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring, responsible hands while making each day enjoyable and engaging for the kids.

I have gotten the wonderful opportunity to work for the past two summers as a camp counselor (the summers of 2025-2026) at the YMCA in my home town. Along with that the year before I started at the YMCA I started college courses in Elementary Education and was given the ability to work with kids all throughout that year (the 2024-2025 school year). I love arts and crafts along with making sure kids get as much play and educational fun time as possible
