Summary

Caring and dependable childcare provider with hands-on experience supporting infants, toddlers, and young children through their daily routines, learning activities, and safe play. I’m confident in creating warm, structured, and engaging environments—whether that means helping with early learning, organizing crafts, preparing healthy meals, or supporting emotional and social development in a patient, positive way. Families describe me as calm, nurturing, and someone they can rely on to communicate clearly and handle situations with maturity and care.

Alongside childcare, I also have experience working as a PSW and Home Support Worker, providing personal care, mobility support, and companionship for elderly clients in both private homes and retirement settings. This background has strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, and ability to remain patient and attentive in fast-paced or unexpected situations.
