I have over three years of childcare experience as a nanny for two young children, where I was responsible for their daily care, creating engaging activities, helping with routines, and ensuring they were in a safe and supportive environment. I also have experience working with children as a dance instructor, teaching classes to students of various ages in a structured, positive, and encouraging setting. These experiences have strengthened my patience, communication, organization, and ability to connect with children while creating a fun and supportive environment for them.
