About me

I first began babysitting when I was thirteen years old after completing a training course. Since then, I have continued to work with children for the past nine years as a babysitter throughout high school and as an educator while I was in college. Through my different experiences, I have had the opportunity to work with children from ages 1 1/2 up to 13 years old.

One of my biggest priorities is to establish a safe and comforting environment for the families I am working with so the kids have the freedom to play. Children have an incredible capacity for storytelling and creativity that I am constantly inspired by. Kindness and patience have been my two greatest resources while working in classrooms or in offices. I have been a vegetarian for over eight years, though I am still familiar with preparing non-vegetarian meals.

Coming from a background in education, my goal truly is to encourage children to be themselves. I am a part of their team. It is my hope they will share their interests with me so I can think of games or activities that are exciting for them. Learning has always been important to me, and I try to set that example for the children I work with by engaging with their interests.
