My name is Verania, I am an enthusiastic and reliable caregiver with personal childcare experience and a nurturing personality. I am passionate about supporting children through patience, kindness and genuine connection while becoming a trusted extension of a family. I’ve given care to toddlers ages 2-4 yrs while following their schedule. My favorite part of taking care of kids this age is playing with them and letting them enjoy their time away from a screen! While also teaching them patience while their feeling so many emotions and they just don’t know how to control their emotions.
