Hi! I'm a current undergrad studying biology and working in a research lab. I have previous experience with toddlers-teenagers as a former Kumon employee. Also, I have personal experience caring for my 4 nieces and three nephews! I’m very patient, punctual, communicative, and I can easily adapt to different household schedules, rules, and values! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm also fun to be around! I love being outdoors, being creative, playing games, cooking, and finding new hobbies. Regarding pets, I've fostered and/or adopted many cats throughout my life and I have some experience with dogs. These are the main points I'd like to advertise about myself: 1. I have experience with children of all ages. 2. I'm dependable, respectful, and organized. 3. I have tutoring experience. 4. I'm willing to learn new things and adapt to other's lifestyles.

She was on time, nice, very considerate ,understanding, negotiable,and she had great energy ! This was only the interview! I can’t wait to see how this goes!

I have over five years of experience working with children in both professional and personal settings. For five consecutive summers, I worked at my church’s summer camp, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging groups of children while their parents were at work. My role included organizing fun and educational activities, leading games, helping with crafts, preparing snacks, and ensuring each child felt safe, included, and cared for throughout the day. In addition to my camp experience, I’ve regularly babysat for families in my community, caring for children of various ages. I’m confident managing daily routines, including mealtimes, nap schedules, school pickups, and bedtime. I also assist with homework, encourage creative play, and maintain a calm, nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I’ve also been trusted by neighbors to care for their children and pets while they’re out of town. This has included feeding and walking pets, keeping routines consistent, light household tasks, and making sure the home stays tidy and secure. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and attentive. I genuinely enjoy building strong, positive relationships with kids and helping families feel supported. Caregiving isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I take pride in, and I always strive to go above and beyond to make sure children are happy, safe, and engaged.
