Hi! Iβve spent the last 4 years caring for children from newborns to 7-year-olds, including kids with autism. I love getting to know each childβs personality and finding what makes them light up - whether thatβs building block towers, playing outside, or reading their favorite story for the tenth time. Iβm patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy the time I spend with kids. Iβd love to meet your family and see if weβre a good fit!

I have been caring for children since I was 16 years old. My childcare experience began by assisting my mother with the children she babysat, which helped me develop strong skills in supervision, engagement, and creating a safe environment for children of all ages. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children and families in educational and community settings. I previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism clinic, providing individualized support to children with autism and helping them develop communication, social, and daily living skills. I have also served as a Mentor Coach, supporting educators and helping improve outcomes for young children in classroom settings. Currently, I work as a Redeploy Program Manager, where I support youth and families by coordinating services, mentoring young people, and helping them achieve positive outcomes. My background in child development, behavior support, education, and social work allows me to provide attentive, compassionate, and dependable care. I am committed to ensuring children feel safe, supported, and engaged while in my care.
