The laughter that a toddler makes when they have discovered something new is one of the best sounds that you could ever hear. My experience covers a range of care for infants to high schoolers. I've worked in daycare settings as the lead and assistant teacher for infants to Pre-Kindergarten. I chose to branch out, and worked in professional settings after receiving my bachelor's degree. I have worked as a family liaison for a Tindley Genesis Academy in Indianapolis, Indiana and have been a Site based Program Manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Chicago. **** I currently prefer to work with ages 2 and younger. ***

I have over ten years of hands-on childcare experience caring for children from newborns to age ten, primarily within my family, which is a valued part of my culture. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, putting children to sleep, reading to them, and engaging them in age-appropriate play and learning activities. I hold a certificate in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and safety. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a warm, nurturing, and structured environment where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow emotionally, socially, and academically.

I lead the special needs ministry for a large church. We rely on weekly help from sitters we book on SitterTree. The app makes it easy to connect with sitters in our area who have experience working with children with disabilities. We now have several Favorites who we book consistently. SitterTree has been a wonderful resource for our ministry.
