I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and engaged. My main duties include preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, organizing fun and educational activities, and keeping play areas clean and organized. I also make sure to follow parents’ routines and guidelines to keep things consistent for the kids.

I truly enjoy spending time with kids, teaching them new things, and being someone they can trust and look up to.
