I'm currently a Junior student in High School, however I’ve worked with children in different settings, from summer camps to parties, and I’ve learned how to balance fun with responsibility. In my job with Buster da Clown and Friends, I got to dress up in character costumes, interact with kids, and help serve snacks. As a Junior Camp Counselor with the KRoussaw Foundation, I helped with arts and crafts, supervised games, and joined kids on field trips.
I’ve spent 5 years working in a daycare, caring for little ones and supporting their growth. I love spending time going for walks, doing arts and crafts, and reading stories together. With a naturally empathetic and compassionate nature, I do my best to create a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel happy and cared for.
