Hello! I'm a passionate, patient, and reliable caregiver with a lifelong dedication to supporting children and helping them thrive. I have raised two adult children of my own, so I bring genuine, hands-on parenting experience, calm reassurance, and deep empathy to every family I work with. Over the years, I've served as a foster care provider and worked as a substitute paraeducator in special education classrooms. These roles have given me practical experience supporting children with a wide range of developmental needs, learning styles, and personalities. I truly enjoy working with kids-whether it's helping with homework, engaging in creative play, or maintaining daily routines in a safe, nurturing environment. I have previous training in CPR and First Aid (currently non-certified, but happy to renew if needed for the right family). I look forward to connecting and seeing how I can support your family!
