Experience: 10 yrs
Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With 10 years of experience supporting families, I provide a patient, creative, and reliable environment for children ages newborn through 16. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, which informs how I foster growth during play. I hold current CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure a safe space for your little ones. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or tackling educational games, I love engaging children in meaningful activities. I am comfortable managing up to four children and am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I prioritize your preferred communication style, whether through text updates or a recap at pickup. I am truly honored to be a positive influence in your child's life and look forward to meeting your family.
