I teach Kindergarten through twelfth grade and am very familiar and comfortable with that wide age range! Besides that, I have also worked in other school districts as an after school leader, where I was used to working one on one with students as well as leading large groups of kiddos as well. I have also nannied for a family with two babies, ages 2 1/2 and 9 months until I started working as a permanent substitute. I find kids’ energetic and kind personalities a joy to be around and I overall love working with kids for those reasons! I have a clean driving record and happily offer pickup and drop off from school if needed! I can offer school related assistance including homework help, arts and crafts, light tidying around the household, and anything else that I may be of help in. My priority is always to ensure that this is a great experience for both the family and children, as for me as a caretaker! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I will be more than happy to answer them! I am excited to meet you and potentially work with your family and little ones! I am fully vaccinated as well as have all of the boosters and am CPR Certified for all ages.

I’m a mother of two, passionate about creating meaningful connections with kids, and fostering an environment that encourages learning, creativity, and fun. With a love for nature and sustainability, I offer a unique blend of caregiving, teaching, and nurturing to help little ones grow. I am committed to a green lifestyle, using sustainable practices like vermi composting and tending to my garden. I teach children about the environment, wildlife, bugs, and plants, helping them understand why these are important to our world. I encourage outdoor play and exploration and create sensory products designed to get kids off the screen and into the real world. Painting, gardening, and hands-on activities are just some of the ways I engage children creatively. With a strong background in conflict resolution, I can guide younger children through challenging moments and offer older kids a compassionate, understanding space to talk. My natural ability to listen, advocate, and communicate helps ensure all voices are heard and respected. I tailor my caregiving approach to each child’s unique needs and interests, always prioritizing their well-being and development. As a proud pet owner of three cats and two dogs, I create a pet-friendly environment, teaching children responsibility, kindness, and the joy of animal companionship.

Professional, reliable, fun!
