I am nurturing, patient, and incredibly passionate about helping each individual child thrive! I believe that every child is different, and with the right tools everyone can be supported in reaching their full potential. I love outdoor time, songs & stories, and keeping children creatively occupied while learning about the world. I have always loved reading, and I enjoy passing on that love to the children I care for by expressive, interactive story times where we enjoy quality books together. I am comfortable with any household chores and especially enjoy cooking! At this time I am only available for evening or weekend babysitting.

I have four younger siblings and grew up babysitting for friends and family. Through high school and beyond I gained experience in assisting home daycare, babysitting, nannying, and tutoring, as well as doing kids clubs. From 2021-2025 I have worked at 2 licensed daycare centres, one in Waterloo, ON, and one in Portland, Oregon. I am comfortable and experienced with - potty training - leading circle time and planning crafts and activities - the specialized care required for feeding, diapering, and caring for infants of any age - teaching basic pre-k skills through songs and play -cleaning and housework -cooking healthy, balanced meals
