Hi there! I’m currently looking for a part time summer position while my full-time job takes a break for the season. I have 3 years of professional childcare experience and about 5–6 years of babysitting experience, and I absolutely love working with children of all ages. I’ve worked as both a Lead Toddler Teacher and an Assistant Teacher, caring for children from infants through Pre-K. I’m skilled in creating fun, age-appropriate activities, maintaining consistent routines, and providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can thrive. I’m dependable, patient, and bring a calm, positive energy to every family I work with. If you’re looking for summer care from someone experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate about supporting kids — I’d love to connect!
