I am an experienced, dependable caregiver with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I truly love working with children and creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can grow, learn, and feel supported. I hold a college degree and am currently pursuing my Registered Nurse licensure, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, safety, and health. I am CPR and First Aid certified and trained in medication administration, allowing me to confidently and safely support children with medical needs when required. I am a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am very comfortable with pets. I am also happy to help with light housekeeping and meal preparation for children. Families describe me as patient, responsible, warm, and trustworthy. I take pride in being attentive, organized, and fully present with the children in my care. I am looking for a long-term position where I can become a dependable and positive part of a familyβs daily life.
