Hi! My name is Yaritza, and I have approximately eight years of experience working with children of all ages. My journey in early childhood education began during my sophomore year of high school, and since then I have developed a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive in safe and nurturing environments. I have experience caring for children from as young as six weeks old through 12 years of age. Over the years, I have babysat for local families and worked professionally in childcare settings. I served as a Lead Teacher in a daycare center for over three years, where I planned age-appropriate activities, supported children's social-emotional development, maintained a safe classroom environment, and partnered closely with families to support each child's success. In addition to my childcare experience, I have worked in elementary school settings through clinical placements and educational experiences. I also hold a Substitute Teaching License, which has allowed me to work with children in classroom environments and support students with diverse learning needs. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with ESL and Bilingual endorsements. As a bilingual English and Spanish speaker, I enjoy supporting children and families from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I am CPR and First Aid certified, giving families added peace of mind that their children are in safe and capable hands. I am known for being patient, reliable, organized, and engaging. Whether it's helping with homework, creating fun learning activities, assisting with daily routines, preparing meals, or simply providing a caring and supportive environment, I strive to make every child feel valued, safe, and encouraged.

Hello ! my name is saphira, Ihave worked in childcare for a year and a half, supporting two different families. One family had an 11-month-old, where I focused on early development through play, sensory activities, and consistent routines. The other family had a four-year-old and a seven-year-old, and I planned engaging activities suited to their ages. I organized outdoor play, games, and nature walks to keep them active, and I led crafts that included educational themes to encourage creativity and learning. Through this experience, I built strong communication, patience, and responsibility while creating a safe, fun environment that supported each childβs growth and curiosity.

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.
