Summary
I have over ten years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I genuinely love creating a warm, safe, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, driving to activities, or simply being a reliable and caring presence, I always strive to make each child feel valued and supported. Building strong relationships with both kids and parents is important to me, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.
