I’m a patient, compassionate, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with children. I approach care with empathy and structure, understanding that every child is different and needs to feel safe, heard, and respected. I have been working in childcare for more than 4 years now. I have experience supporting children through big emotions, everyday routines, and learning through play. I focus on building trust, encouraging communication, and creating an environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I value consistency, emotional awareness, and positive guidance. Whether we’re doing creative activities, spending time outdoors, or winding down together, I aim to be a calm and supportive presence that children and families can rely on.
