With over 11 years of extensive experience in child care, I am passionate about fostering nurturing and supportive environments for children. As a mother of three girls, ages 11 and 4-year-old twins, I bring both personal and professional insights to my role. My journey began at the age of 15, caring for my siblings and providing occasional babysitting services for family and friends. As a dedicated professional, I have worked both in early learning centers and as a full-time nanny, including a recent role as a backup care nanny for a Seattle-based agency. In this capacity, I supported numerous families from 2018 to 2023 before relocating to Bentonville. My primary goal as a caregiver is to build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I am known for being patient, understanding, energetic, and reliable. I excel in providing engaging, hands-on activities and enjoy participating in outings and imaginative play. Read more I hold current certifications in CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogens, ensuring a high standard of safety and preparedness in all situations.
