Activity summary
Trustworthy and Caring Childcare
I am a responsible and experienced caregiver who brings consistency, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I have cared for children of all ages and feel comfortable supporting multiple children at once. I also have experience working with children with disabilities, which has helped me develop strong adaptability and an understanding of individual needs.
I enjoy engaging children in hands-on, age-appropriate activities that keep them active, creative, and entertained. I always make safety the priority while still encouraging children to explore, learn, and express themselves. I like both sports and the arts, and I enjoy bringing these interests into activities and teaching children about them when they show interest.

I have worked with four families, including two part-time positions and two full-time positions, with children aged 8 months to 12 years old. My responsibilities included preparing meals and snacks, supervising daily activities, planning games and activities suited to each child's age, helping with homework, and managing bedtime routines such as bath time, teeth brushing, and settling in for the night.
I have also picked children up from school, handled after-school care, and brought them to extracurricular activities when needed. I am very hands-on, responsible, and patient, and I always focus on creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for the children in my care.
