Whether it's building forts, reading stories, or helping with routines, I enjoy being a calm, fun, and reliable presence in a child's day. My first experience with children comes from my 3 younger brothers, who’ve taught me the importance of patience, safety, and connection. I believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported, and I take pride in creating a positive space where each child can grow and freely express themselves. I'm excited to bring this mindset into each space I enter.

I'm able to relate to the kids in a manner that portrays me as a fun, trustworthy person but also to be treated with respect. This give us a balanced relationship so that they feel comfortable enough with me but also views me as an authority figure. Luckily, this allows the parents to enjoy their time while they're away from their little bits of joy and can trust that the kids are having a blast themselves. If we're not putting together a masterpiece during arts and crafts, then we're probably tiring ourselves out playing a game we (really them) have created. Ultimately, I want the parents to feel confident about their choice in their sitter, me!
