As a creative and friendly caregiver with a passion for children's growth, I've dedicated the last decade to providing exceptional childcare. My journey began with fulfilling babysitting roles, which solidified my desire to positively impact young lives. With a graduate degree in education, I've gained extensive knowledge in early childhood education and development, which I incorporate into engaging activities and games. I'm proficient in various games, ranging from educational board games to outdoor sports, ensuring a well-rounded experience for children. While I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, I prioritize open communication with parents, using their preferred method to provide regular updates and address any concerns. My diverse skills include CPR and First Aid training, doula work, and certified teaching, complemented by coursework in early child development
