Hi! I am a dependable and experienced childcare provider with many years of hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I have been babysitting since age 13 and helped raise my youngest sibling from infancy, which has given me a strong foundation in daily routines, safety, and child development. I also have professional experience in home health care and take pride in being attentive, patient, and reliable.I am currently a college student taking classes online, allowing for a flexible schedule. I played two years of college volleyball, which strengthened my leadership, responsibility, and ability to stay active and engaged with children. I enjoy spending time outdoors, encouraging active play, creativity, and healthy routines while always prioritizing safety. I recently relocated to Michigan from Illinois and am committed to providing families with dependable, nurturing, and trustworthy care in a safe and positive environment.
