Hi families! I'm a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience working with toddlers and young children, though I'm open to caring for children of all ages. In my full-time career, I work in mental health at the VA, where I've developed strong skills in communication, patience, and creating safe, supportive environments. I'm happy to help with daily routines including meal prep, light cooking, laundry, light housekeeping, bathing, potty training, bedtime routines, and keeping kids engaged through play, crafts, and fun activities. I'm also comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walks, and basic pet care. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children while helping make life a little easier for parents.
