I've worked in childcare for about 7 years now, gaining experience as a private in-home nanny, a daycare employee, and regular babysitting gigs. I've worked with children of all ages, caring for kiddos who were as young as 3 months and as old as 13 years. Additionally, I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology, which gives me a deeper understanding of child development and how to foster independence, confidence, and curiosity in a way that feels natural to them. I love mixing in creative play, outdoor adventures, and learning opportunities that keep kids excited and engaged throughout the day. I’m patient, adaptable, and always communicative. Every child is different, so I make sure to adjust my approach to fit their personality and needs. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork, planning fun activities, or just being a steady, supportive presence, I focus on creating a positive and nurturing atmosphere. I know how Read more to balance structure with flexibility, so kids feel both secure and free to explore and grow. What I love most about being a caregiver is the genuine connection I get to build with each child. Watching them grow, overcome challenges, and develop their own little personalities is the most rewarding part of the job. I think what makes me great at this is my ability to stay calm and collected no matter what while still being fun, present, and dependable. I take my role seriously, but I also know how to make every day feel special.
