Hello! With over 12 years of childcare experience, three years of teaching experience, six years of tutoring elementary to high schoolers, a strong educational background, and a passion for working with children, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your kiddo(s). My journey in childcare began at age 12 and has included various roles such as a Peer Mentor at South Elementary School in Mooresville, NC, where I helped students in the M2H program improve literacy and retention rates. This experience was rewarding, as it allowed me to make a meaningful impact on students' academic progress. In high school, I tutored my peers and middle school students in subjects like pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and statistics. I also earned a B.A. in Anthropology and Portuguese from UNC at Chapel Hill in 2020 while taking pre-med classes on the side and have continued my education with advanced Read more science courses from universities including UT: Austin, ACC, Arizona State University, Liberty University, and the University of North Dakota. After graduation, I worked as a substitute teacher for various age groups, from preschoolers to eighth graders, covering core subjects and specialized areas such as art, P.E., and music. I also served as an ESL homeschool teacher, helping a student advance from a pre-school to a second-grade reading level in five months. Furthermore, I currently babysit on occasion for two families in Austin, where I organize age-appropriate activities, prepare nutritious meals, and manage daily routines, always ensuring a loving and respectful environment. In addition to my childcare experience, I currently work at a surgery center in downtown Austin and have over three years of experience in healthcare. As such, I am required to have up to date CPR certification at all times. Furthermore, my background in healthcare and childcare has equipped me with the skills to handle diverse needs and ensure a safe, supportive environment for children. Regarding my availability, I am free to pick up/babysit your kiddo(s) anytime after 4:00 pm on the weekdays. Typically on Mondays and Thursdays, I am available as early as 3:15 pm if need be. On Fridays, I am available as early as 2:00 pm. As for the weekends, I am typically available after 11:00 am on Sundays. I also have a 2021 Toyota Corolla and a good driving record as well. If you feel like I am a good fit, please feel free to reach out to me.
