My name is Mica and I'm born from the Philippines, having moved to Canada when I was 14 years old so I am fluent in both English and Tagalog. I have a younger brother that I am still taking care of but I am free for a lot of time because I am taking a gap year before going to university next year. I love to cook and bake, as well as participate in creative activities such as crafting, art projects, etc. I also am good at housekeeping as I like to clean as I go and maintain a well-cleaned space for a child. I am empathetic, so I don't get angry at children. I like to be kind and gentle with my words, as well as give children opportunities to learn discipline in their everyday life for things such as creating routines, cleanliness, hygiene, etc. I will answer any questions as needed :)

I have had experience with taking care of my little currently 7 y/o brother for years now (probably since I was 13) including when he was a baby due to my parents mostly being too busy with work everyday, so that's where most of my experience comes from. I also took care of him at the same time as other children from my family members when they're busy back when he was still around 3 or 4 years old. I prioritize the child's health (ie. eating, hygiene, exercise) and like to incorporate different ways to try and help a child be more disciplined about certain aspects that they'll need as they grow up (ie. making routines, etc.). I am also pretty calm when working with children, so I don't yell or get stressed easily in panic-inducing situations. I like to help children engage in their creativity so I like thinking of fun activities we can do together like art or craft projects. I can help with homework too.
