Today Nurturing children and watching them grow and reach new milestones has been a big part of my life and something | truly enjoy. I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborn through school age, including raising my own six children. My oldest is almost 18 and my youngest is 11, so I have many years of experience creating a safe, caring, and structured environment for children at different ages and stages. I am patient, dependable, nurturing, and enjoy keeping children engaged through outdoor activities, educational games, reading, puzzles, and creative play. I am comfortable following household rules and routines and keeping parents updated throughout the day. I also hold CPR and First Aid Training certifications and am happy to help with light housekeeping and other childcare-related tasks. My goal is to provide families with dependable, loving care and to become someone they can trust. "
