I know that life with kids (and pets!) can be a whirlwind, and I’d love to be someone who helps make things a little easier for you. I’m really passionate about creating a safe, loving, and engaging space where kids can feel supported and free to be themselves. I have experience working with kids of all ages, including infants, teens, twins and children with special needs, and I also have a background in mental health support and teaching over 150 students (grades kg-12th grade). I understand how important patience, kindness, and emotional awareness are when caring for children, and I always strive to be a calming, positive presence. Whether it’s helping with homework, diving into imaginative play, or just being there to listen, I do my best to meet each child where they are and make them feel valued, along with their parents. I’m also a professional photographer and an Read more artist! I love incorporating creativity into my time with kids—whether it’s arts and crafts, painting, or even playing board games. I believe creativity is such an important part of childhood, and I enjoy helping kids express themselves in new and exciting ways. I also have a background in healthcare, so I’m comfortable handling a variety of situations with care and confidence. On top of that, I’m a huge animal lover and have experience rescuing and caring for animals—so if your family has pets, I’ll be more than happy to look after them too! Above all, and most importantly, I want to make things easier for you. Safety and communication are my top priorities—I’m CPR and First Aid certified, trained in food safety, and can even whip up some delicious meals. I also believe in keeping an open and honest line of communication with parents, so you’ll always know your children (and furry friends!) are in good hands. I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family. Looking forward to chatting!
