I am calm, patient, and intuitive, and I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. In addition to childcare, I offer reliable household management support, including light to moderate housekeeping, family laundry, meal preparation, organizing children’s spaces, scheduling coordination, and maintaining daily routines. I am proactive, detail-oriented, and take initiative to keep the home tidy, organized, and stress-free for the family. I am dependable, discreet, and adaptable, with a strong understanding of family dynamics and daily logistics. My goal is always to support parents by providing consistent care, structure, and peace of mind—allowing families to focus on work and quality time together, knowing their home and children are in capable hands.

Early childhood educator
During my two years at Tiny Hoppers, I worked in both the preschool and infant classrooms, providing high-quality care and educational support to children ranging from infants to preschool age. In the preschool classroom, I was responsible for planning and implementing daily programming, preparing and organizing activities, and leading story time for up to 20 children. I supervised outdoor play, served lunch and snacks, and helped foster children’s social and cognitive development through structured and play-based learning. In the infant classroom, I cared for 9–11 babies, focusing on feeding, bottles, diaper changes, and sleep routines. I created a nurturing and engaging environment with circle time, music, and sensory play to support early development. Throughout my time at Tiny Hoppers, I worked closely as part of a collaborative team, maintaining a positive and supportive classroom atmosphere while ensuring the safety, comfort, and growth of every child.
