Hi, my name is Precious I provide child care and household support services. I’m currently pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science at Arkansas State University (remote). Alongside my studies, I have several years of experience babysitting and working as an Assistant Teacher with toddlers and young children. In these roles, I’ve supported daily routines, encouraged learning and play and created a safe, positive environment. I also can help with light household tasks such as cleaning and organizing. My background in customer service and administrative support has made me dependable, organized and great at multitasking and I look forward to helping out where I’m needed most.

I am an experienced early childhood educator with 5 years of teaching experience in early preschool and preschool classrooms. I specialize in supporting children ages 2 to 5 through engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that build strong foundational skills in literacy, handwriting, and phonological awareness. I use trusted, research-based programs such as Handwriting Without Tears and Heggerty Phonological Awareness to make learning fun, hands-on, and effective. My goal is to help each child grow in confidence and readiness for kindergarten while fostering a love of learning
