For over a decade, I've been dedicated to working with children, first as an experienced babysitter throughout my teenage years, and then as a certified educator for the past seven years. What sets me apart: • 7 Years in Education: I served as a Teacher for four years (focusing on preschool and kindergarten) and a Teaching Assistant and Teacher for three years (working with students with emotional and behavioral exceptionalities). This means I am skilled in managing challenging behaviors, supporting homework, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. • Safety and Trust: My professional history demonstrates reliability, accountability, and the ability to handle emergencies calmly. • Diverse Experience: I am comfortable caring for infants through school-age children, including those with specific learning or physical needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I also am trained in Trauma Informed Care.
