I absolutely love being a sitter because it allows me to connect with kids, help them grow, and create lasting memories. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working in various roles that have shaped me into a well-rounded caregiver. I spent two years as a camp counselor for Upward Bound, where I got to work closely with kids and help guide them through new experiences. I also have experience working with youth at the Boys and Girls Club of America, where I learned how to create a fun, supportive environment while building meaningful relationships. On top of that, I’ve taught violin and tutored Spanish to kids ages 8-15, which has given me great patience, communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s learning style. I’m also CPR certified, so you can rest easy knowing your child’s safety is a top priority. Beyond my work with kids, Read more I’ve spent 10 years working in nursing homes and as a home health care provider for elderly patients, where I learned the true value of empathy, care, and respect. These experiences have made me highly attentive to the needs of others, whether it’s children, elderly adults, or pets. Speaking of pets, I absolutely love animals, so you can trust that your furry friends will be in good hands. I also enjoy cooking, and I find it’s a great way to bring people together. Whether I’m caring for kids, pets, or elderly loved ones, I always bring a positive, reliable energy and a genuine passion for helping others.
