I am a 20-year-old female with 6 years of child care experience. I have spent the last two years as a student at the University of Michigan and am currently taking time off indefinitely to pursue other options. As a child who was raised in a household that valued education and limited electronic distractions, I carry these principles into my child care practices. I am an animated caregiver who plays alongside the child and views every interaction as a learning opportunity.

Throughout the last 6 years I have cared for children with ages ranging from 2 months to 14 years, and have been there as many children have grown. As a student at Michigan I participated in the AmeriCorps program Jumpstart, and completed 60 hours of training focused on facilitating the education and literary skills of at-risk preschool-aged children. My Jumpstart experience has taught me to recognize the subtle developmental differences between children at different age points, specifically, ages 3-5. Jumpstart also honed my education skills because I was teaching while addressing different levels of intellectual and behavioral development.

I will be happy to answer any more questions via phone or email. I look forward to meeting your family!
