About me

I have been helping families and their children for the past 10 years, and I am thrilled to offer my skills and experience to SmartSitting! I have cared for children of all ages in both home and professional settings, and have enjoyed getting to know families with kids in all stages of development. I am empathetic and creative-minded; I care about setting boundaries. These boundaries allow children to grow and thrive, while emphasizing that their voices and opinions are valid and important. I find that kids have a very unique perspective on the world around them and I love sharing in their creativity and imagination!

In addition to childcare, I have a passion for cooking. I have worked as a professional baker and cook, and spent a year teaching an after-school cooking class at an elementary school. I love sparking creativity in children, whether it be through cooking, crafting, dancing, or playing games. I bring an open mind, a strong sense of structure, and a goal of having fun to any family I care for. I believe that my role as a babysitter is about more than just ensuring the safety of a child; it is an opportunity to expand teach, while creating an environment that fosters personal growth and brings joyful moments to the child's life.
