Brook $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly dependable and compassionate caregiver with a strong background in supporting individuals of all ages, from children to seniors, and even pets. My professional experience includes roles as a Certified Nursing Assistant, Patient Sitter, and Direct Support Professional, where I developed skills in providing attentive care, ensuring safety, and creating nurturing environments. Personally, I have years of experience caring for children, assisting elderly family members, and looking after pets, which has deepened my love for caregiving in all its forms. I hold certifications in Basic Life Support (CPR and AED) and Preventing and Managing Crisis Solutions (PMCS). I am also pursuing advanced education, including a BBA in Business Marketing and a Post-Baccalaureate in Pre-Med, which reflect my dedication to growth and learning. I genuinely love working with children, fostering their creativity, and supporting their development in safe, engaging environments. My time spent with seniors has taught me patience and empathy, while my experience with pets has made me attentive and caring to all living beings. Caregiving isn’t just a job for me—it’s my passion, and I take pride in creating positive experiences for those I care for.
