Hi everyone! I have been working with kids of all ages for about 10 years now but my main focus is early childhood. I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and have been a teacher in a classroom for about 4 years. I love working with children it's truly is one of my passions and I would love to take that passion outside of the classroom, have a bit more freedom and flexibility with the children I work with. Living in Florida im a big outdoors girl I love being able to take walks and enjoy the fresh air/water. I have a cat and a dog so I am familiar with those care services as well.

Pamela was great! She was able to tame the little one from the first minute!

My background is very family-oriented. I have spent years caring for children, including babysitting my cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends’ kids. I also have a strong love for animals. I have three pets of my own and have cared for others’ pets as well. I served in the military for five years, which taught me discipline, responsibility, and the importance of reliability. Since then, I have been in school and am currently working toward my master’s degree in social work. I am trustworthy, empathetic, and enjoy helping others.
