Hi families! My name is Isaly, and I am an elementary educator with (over 20 years) experience teaching and supporting children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked with children across a variety of ages and backgrounds, including experience in social-emotional learning, literacy support, enrichment activities, and structured care. I’m known for being calm, dependable, nurturing, and highly attentive to children’s emotional and physical safety. As a teacher, I understand the importance of patience, communication, routines, and creating environments where children feel secure, engaged, and supported. I’m comfortable helping with: -Infant and child supervision -Bedtime and evening routines -Reading and homework support -Educational/play-based activities -Meal/snack preparation -Outdoor activities and active play -Light tidying related to child care Families often appreciate that I bring both professional educational experience and genuine warmth into the spaces I work in. Whether you need occasional babysitting, event support, summer help, or consistent care, I strive to be someone both parents and children feel comfortable with and can trust. I look forward to connecting with your family!
