I have been in childcare for nearly half of my life and I plan to make it my future as well. I volunteered in community daycare when I was in middle school and I have taught swim lessons for two years and instructed kids gymnastics for one year. I am currently working part-time doing in-home care for seniors because I want to gain experience caring for people of all ages and backgrounds. I am very empathetic and patient and I connect with little ones easily, I’m responsible and reliable but I’m still just a kid at heart and am able to meet kids at their level.
Some of the children I’ve taught have written me cards and given me hugs because they feel safe and appreciated. When caring for children it is never about the money, it’s about fostering a safe environment and forming relationships that make them feel understood and happy.
I have my CPR certification and Food Handler’s permit, High School diploma, driver’s license and car with front and rear backup cameras (willing to drive children if needed), and will be going to college for Early Childhood Education in the fall. I also have always had dogs in my household and am willing to care for pets.

I have six years of hands-on childcare experience, including working as a YMCA Child Watch Attendant, camp counselor, cheer camp coach, and children’s ministry volunteer. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, supervising multiple children at once, bottle-feeding, changing diapers, and helping with age-appropriate daily care routines. I can prepare and cook meals, assist with feeding, clean up after meals and activities, wash dishes, tidy play areas, and maintain a clean and organized environment. I am comfortable following parents’ instructions and established schedules for meals, naps, playtime, and other routines to provide consistency and stability for children. My experience also includes planning and leading age-appropriate crafts, games, and educational activities, managing groups of children, and keeping kids engaged through creative, hands-on play rather than electronics. I have experience working with children with special needs and am fluent in sign language, allowing me to communicate with Deaf children. My background has prepared me to handle a variety of childcare responsibilities while adapting to each child’s age, abilities, and individual needs.
