Experience: 10 yrs
Making a positive impact on children's lives is my passion. My experiences in a school setting showed me the difference a caring presence can make. I have 11 years of experience caring for children aged newborn to pre-teen. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children. I am patient, creative, adaptable, and confident, even under pressure. I follow parents' preferred communication methods and am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, educational games, board games, and other fun activities like freeze dance. I am happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. My qualifications as an educator have equipped me with strong knowledge of safeguarding practices, child development, & supporting children with varying abilities. I am eager to bring my calm, creative energy to your family and create a nurturing environment where your children can thrive.
Our family loves Lakel! After getting to know her on the phone before meeting in person, I knew she would be a great fit. Our kids (11yo and 6yo) took to her right away. Our son has special needs, and she was able to understand and redirect his behavior appropriately when needed. She follows our house rules easily, and she is caring, cheerful, punctual, and consistently reliable. We encourage other families to work with Lakel and we look forward to working with her again in the near future!
