I’m a warm, patient, and caring ECEA who truly enjoys being around children and supporting their growth in a positive way. I come from a family-oriented background and am also a mother of two daughters, which has shaped my nurturing and understanding approach to childcare. I am very creative and love incorporating art, crafts, and imaginative play into everyday activities. I enjoy helping children express themselves through creativity while also building their confidence and curiosity. I also love spending time outdoors and believe nature is such an important part of a child’s development, whether that’s going for walks, playing at the park, or exploring the world around them. I value kindness, patience, and creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel comfortable being themselves. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about working with kids and being a positive part of their daily lives.

I have experience working with children from newborn to 10 years old as both a nanny and a babysitter. In these roles, I was responsible for managing daily routines, including preparing meals and snacks, feeding, diaper changes, helping with naps, bathing, dressing, and maintaining a clean and organized environment for the children. I also supported school-aged children with getting ready for school, homework, reading, and after-school routines. My childcare work also included planning age-appropriate activities to keep children engaged, active, and learning. These activities included arts and crafts, reading stories, outdoor play, trips to the park, creative games, and quiet time activities. For younger children, I focused on sensory play, basic learning activities, and helping build routines that supported their development and comfort. In addition, I have raised two daughters who are now 23 and 25, which has given me many years of hands-on experience caring for children, understanding their needs at different stages, and creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment. I have an ECEA certificate since January 2023. I have 1 year of experience as a responsible adult, and I received my ECEA certification from Coastal College of BC and continued to work as an ECEA until June of 2024 at Canyon Springs Montessori School. My role consisted of organizing various activities with educators, leading circle times, working with children individually, monitoring kids' progress/development and meeting with families. I was also responsible for keeping attendance and creating interim reports. I then went on to work as a Multicultural outreach worker at DiverseCity Community Resources Society. In this role, I connected families to programs and community resources, registered children and their families in school and after-school programs, facilitated skills-building workshops for women and provided family support through home visits with a fellow ECE. This role strengthened my ability to work with diverse families and really solidified my skills. Further, I was a part of a workshop called Circle of Security where we learned how to teach parents about emotional development of children and understanding their behaviours, creating a healthier, safer relationship between parent and child.
