I love working with children because their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious. Every day spent with them is filled with discoveries and opportunities to nurture their development. I find immense joy in helping them grow, learn, and overcome challenges. Their creativity and resilience inspire me. I have about 4 paid years of experience but have babysat since I was 14 years old. Within my 6 years of watching kids, I have babysat and tutored all age groups. My background includes a degree in nursing, which gives me an upper hand to ensure I provide the best care and safety for children. I have worked with children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs, which has broadened my understanding and skills in providing individualized care and support. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with children on a personal level, creating a safe and nurturing environment Read more where they feel valued and understood. I have a love for the arts and creative outlets such as painting, pottery, and theatre. My approach is child-centered, focusing on their interests and strengths to foster a love for learning and exploration. Additionally, my strong communication skills with both children and parents ensure that everyone is working together towards the child’s growth and success.
