From Classrooms to Abroad: Dedicated Childcare Professional with a Creative Touch
Hi there! I’m a recent college graduate with a deep love for working with children. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids in many different settings—supporting a single parent with two school-aged children, helping in a fifth-grade classroom during Covid, and teaching preschoolers with big personalities and unique needs.
Childcare has also taken me abroad: I spent time in Italy as an au pair for children who didn’t speak English, and I traveled to Mexico with a professor to care for her son while she worked. These experiences showed me how much kids thrive with patience, creativity, and consistency, no matter the setting or language. I bring that same warmth and reliability into every family I work with, making sure children feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.

I am in the Sports Career Academy at Laguna Creek High School. There they teach me the basics of first aid. I renewed my First Aid and CPR Certification last year in this academy. My GPA is a 3.4 and I plan to go to college after graduating.
I can help your children and dogs development and learning skills.
During my childhood, I resided on extensive rural land where I had the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of animals including goats, sheep, pigs, dogs of varying sizes (ranging from 10 to 250 lbs), chickens, lambs, roosters, geese, turkeys, and deer. From the age of 10, I have been actively engaged in the training of canines of assorted sizes. I have been instrumental in assisting numerous families in training their aggressive dogs, effectively transforming them into obedient pets suitable for family life and work-related activities. Furthermore, I have demonstrated proficiency in calming and acclimatizing apprehensive animals of diverse breeds, helping them to acclimate to human interaction. My unwavering commitment to aiding animals in distress has been a driving force in my endeavors.
In addition to these experiences, I have devoted my time to supporting the emotional and developmental growth of children from infancy to 16 years of age. I facilitate their journey to self-acceptance and nurture their capacity to effectively communicate their needs to their parents. I adopt an empathetic approach, valuing children's emotions and empowering them to articulate their feelings, thereby fostering understanding between them and their parents.
Dealing with children presenting behavioral challenges such as persistent anger, selective eating habits, and excessive crying, I have developed tailored strategies to address these issues. For children exhibiting signs of anger, I endeavor to identify the underlying causes and teach them constructive ways to express their emotions. Additionally, I employ creative techniques to expand the food choices of selective eaters, gradually broadening their palate through engaging activities. In the case of incessant crying, I strive to establish deep connections, employing approaches akin to those used with children demonstrating behavioral difficulties.
Moreover, I have provided academic support to children struggling with their studies from the early years of daycare to the 8th grade. I adopt a personalized approach, making learning enjoyable for them and tailoring my methods to align with their unique cognitive processes and thinking styles. I firmly believe in the importance of recognizing and accommodating the individual needs and learning modalities of each child. This belief stands in contrast to the prevalent issue of educators failing to recognize and address the distinctive requirements of students, ultimately impeding their learning progress.
