I have more than 5 years of childcare experience, including working as an assistant teacher at a daycare and committing long-term to several families I still keep in touch with today. I've had the privilege of traveling with one family on multiple occasions, which speaks to the trust we've built over the years. Parents have told me I'm friendly, reliable, and responsible, with a natural ability to attune well to each child's unique needs. I genuinely love what I do and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment for the children in my care.

Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, guiding behavior, or simply being a calm presence, I treat every child with the highest level of care and respect.

I have been an on and off babysitter for about 4/5 years now. When I was 13 I went to an actual babysitting class and got my license! I have also worked as a lifeguard for the past 3 summers which mean I am also CPR certified!! I grew up with younger brothers and I love young kids! I like to keep them engaged and entertained while keep the area tidy or tidying up for the family with permission.

I have over 8 years of experience as a nanny, babysitter, cheerleading and gymnastics coach, swim instructor, and am currently in classes pursuing a kinesiology major with an early childhood education minor! I also love pets and have experience dog walking and pet sitting!
