Impacting children positively is what I love to do. With five years of experience caring for children aged 0-12+, I bring a calm and patient, yet energetic and fun, approach to childcare. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to help children thrive. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. l provide regular updates to parents via text or phone call, and I always give a breakdown of the day at pickup. I have a car, l'm comfortable with pets, and I hold current CPR and First Aid certifications. Watching children learn and grow brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your child's development.
