Eight years of experience have solidified my passion for nurturing young minds. I find immense joy in fostering children's growth and providing families with dependable care. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children, ages newborn to 11, and happily engage them with outdoor games, puzzles, and educational activities. I prioritize clear communication with parents, adapting to your preferred method for daily updates or addressing any concerns. I am also very comfortable upholding household rules. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, possess a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, and have completed Early Child Development Coursework. I am also happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe and stimulating environment where your children can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's support system.

We were so fortunate to have Ms. Payton care for our boys. She is truly one of a kind—extremely caring, attentive, and always willing to go above and beyond. Ms. Payton has an incredible ability to help kids work through their emotions with empathy and understanding, which is no easy task! She created a safe and supportive environment where our boys felt heard and valued. She always had the best activities planned—ones that kept our boys both entertained and learning. Whether it was crafts, imaginative play, or outdoor adventures, there was never a dull moment. Ms. Payton put a lot of thought and care into every day she spent with our boys. Any family would be lucky to have her!
