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 children’s laundry.I pride myself on being patient, dependable, and attentive, and I understand the importance of earning a family’s 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
