I was hired while in school and hold a Database Analytics certificate but have yet to finish my BA. It is on my list for the future! For now, enjoying the early years with my little ones! With my own kids, I emphasize mannerism and self-sufficiency. Things we love include, library visits, playground time, arts and crafts, baking, visits to the Y, and even mini history lessons— I try to make everyday moments fun and educational. Services I offer: • Babysitting (children) and companion sitting (seniors) (can incorporate Spanish) • Light cooking (simple, easy meals) • Errands • Light cleaning (cleaning products provided by client) A bit more about me: I’m passionate about traveling, music, soccer, going on walks, and trying new activities — especially with my kids. Overall I bring warm and genuine care to every family or client I work with.
