Hello Families 🫶🏾 😊 A little bit about me, I’m the oldest daughter of 14 Siblings. I’ve been in the childcare field for 16 years. I first started as a babysitter then gained experience and knowledge throughout the years transitioned into a nanny. More recently I have taken on positions doing House-Management and looking for roles like this. A few of my MANY hobbies include reading, solving puzzles, DIY, Gardening traveling and trying new things. I am a mother to my phenomenal 4 year old daughter! I have been bringing her along with me and homeschooling her since she was born. We are a very outdoorsy duo and love to find new activities to do everyday such as neighborhood walks, parks, indoor play places, museums, farms, zoos,etc. I believe learning/discovery happens best outside the home. Out of home activities helps promote appropriate social interactions amongst people, animals and the environment. ☀️ Whenever indoors with children I turn my focus on learning, development skills, imagination play, crafts & mind stimulation depending on their age group. For older children I focus on life skills such a cleaning habits, preparing simple meals , engaging in hobbies , social knowledge and more!✏️ I am a strong believer in speaking to children as human beings. I respect & towards compassion towards their feelings, even the big ones. This allows them to feel heard & know that what they feel and say matters. These are all ideas & concepts that I would love to bring to a future family 💜 I am available for House-Manager & personal assistant positions including task such as: booking appts & travel.

I am a compassionate and reliable caregiver with a strong background in working with children of all ages especially infants and toddlers. My experience includes roles as a personal babysitter for many urban sitter families, aftercare worker, and camp coach, where I developed a passion for creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments for children. I am CPR-certified until June 2026, ensuring that I can respond promptly and effectively in emergencies. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Health Science at Howard University, I bring a detail-oriented mindset to my caregiving approach, ensuring that every child receives personalized attention. I also have obtained my certification in Medical Assisting. My academic and extracurricular activities, such as mentoring with Ballet and Books and serving as the HUNAACP Membership Committee Chair, have further enhanced my leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills. I am fluent in English and speak proficiently in Spanish and ASL, allowing me to communicate effectively with diverse families. My talents include planning age-appropriate activities, assisting with homework, promoting positive behaviors, and maintaining a structured yet fun household routine. Beyond childcare, I am skilled in household management tasks such as meal preparation, light cleaning, and running errands. Families can trust me to provide a supportive and positive environment that fosters children's growth and well-being. With a caring personality, strong work ethic, and dedication to excellence, I aim to exceed expectations in every aspect of caregiving.
