Hi Families, I graduated from nursing school in my home country and worked as a nurse for 2 years, caring for critically ill patients, also actively holding a CA RN license. I now bring the same compassion and dedication to my work as a childcare provider. Being a childcare provider, I love helping children reach important milestones. With a calm, friendly demeanor, I create a welcoming environment where kids can thrive. I have more than 3 years of experience caring for 1-2 children at a time and I am certified in First Aid and CPR to ensure their safety. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and board games with kids, encouraging both physical and mental development. I can also assist with light cooking, meal preparation, housekeeping, and supervise swimming if needed. Thank you for considering my application! Please feel free to contact me, I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!
