As a caregiver , Special Education Teacher , and Qualified Mental Health Professional my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of young minds. With two decades of experience, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing reliable child care from many different backgrounds. My patient and calm nature, coupled with my creativity and imagination, allows me to connect with children on a deeper level. I believe in open communication with parents and regularly share daily reports and updates to ensure everyone is on the same page. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and creating a structured environment that promotes safety and learning. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I enjoy a variety of activities that cater to different interests and age groups. My diverse early childhood education background, including coursework, certifications, and teaching experience, equips me with the knowledge and skills to provide exceptional care.
