I'm an early childhood enthusiast with three years of experience providing safe, nurturing care for children. My passion for helping children grow and develop stems from my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles where I discovered the profound impact I can have on young lives.Patient, calm, and creative, I easily connect with children and foster an environment that sparks their imagination. I believe in open communication with parents and provide regular updates on their child's day, using their preferred method of contact.Whether it's engaging in outdoor games, playing board games, or participating in educational activities, I thrive on creating a fun and enriching experience for every child in my care. With a flexible schedule, I am ready to provide reliable childcare for up to three children between the ages of 0 and 11. I can't wait to meet you!
