I'm a 25-year-old sdsu biology graduate and the oldest of five siblings, so caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am. I started babysitting when I was 15 and have experience caring for children of different ages. I love helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, spending time outdoors, and creating an environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to be themselves.
I've also been volunteering since high school, which has taught me patience, empathy, and how meaningful it is to make a positive impact on someone's life. My friends would describe me as kind, responsible, energetic, and easy to get along with.
One of the reasons I'm so excited about caregiving is because I genuinely love being around kids. My family doesn't live in San Diego, and as the oldest sibling, I really miss having children around me every day. I miss the laughter, the chaos, and the little moments that make being part of a big family so special. Being around kids brings me so much joy, and I love helping them learn, grow, and feel confident.
I'm also a huge animal lover and have grown up with pets my entire life. Taking care of animals has taught me responsibility and patience from a young age, and I would be more than happy to help care for pets as part of my role. Whether it's walking dogs, playing with them, or helping with feeding and daily routines, I truly enjoy having animals around and consider them part of the family.
Overall, I hope to be more than just a caregiver—I want to be someone your family can trust and rely on while creating a positive and caring environment for both your children and pets.
