Hi, I have a genuine passion for working with children. I bring over 2 years of childcare experience, working with families of all sizes and children of various age. My approach is rooted in patience, consistency, and creativity, ensuring that each child feels safe, supported, and engaged. What I find most rewarding about working with children is being part of their growth and development—watching them learn new skills, build confidence, and discover the world around them. It’s truly special to witness those “lightbulb moments” when something clicks, whether it’s tying their shoes for the first time or expressing their feelings in a new way.
