I have experience working with both children and teens in a mental health treatment center as well as at home respite care/PCA and childcare. I've worked with children and teens with ADHD, FAS and trauma. I have a BA in psychology and music which drives my love for exploring each of my client's unique individuality and their creative interests. I also received my certification in Usui Reiki 1 and 2 Healing Touch this winter. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about me!
I have six siblings, four of which are younger. I’m a creative and fun young hearted person who would love the opportunity to watch over anyone’s child who needs supervision, i do not mind doing activities that involve me getting more active such as going to parks, doing arts and crafts, and things like that. I have extensive experience with children, especially growing up with them. i am patient, and i am also naturally nurturing as well.
I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. I chose this profession because I want to make a positive impact on their lives and support families by providing reliable child care. My formal and reserved nature complements my patient and calm demeanor, making me a comforting presence for children. I value open communication with parents and tailor my approach to their preferred methods. I ensure household rules are followed while prioritizing the parents' lead. I enjoy sensory and art activities that spark a child's creativity and individualism. I have a total of about 7 years of experience working in childcare centers, multiple different school districts and school programs. I'm ready to bring my enthusiasm and dedication to caring for your child. I am available to care for one child, aged 0 to 11 months old. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
Experienced nanny and foster parent. I love the little ones, but would consider older children for the right family. My goal is to exceed expectations. You are leaving your home and children with another and both should be well cared for when you return. I am attentive, empathetic, and conscientious. I have extensive experience with infants and toddlers. I have also provided care for children up to age 18. I aim to provide a service that benefits the whole family: nurtured children, a tidy house, and parents who feel good about leaving their children in my care. I value good communication - and trust that is earned over time and goes both ways. If you are looking for childcare that really adds value to your family life I may be just the lady for you.
