What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can provide compassionate, structured care and early-learning guidance—preferably in a supportive team environment that values child development, safety, and professional growth.

I am a compassionate childcare and support professional with experience across early childhood classrooms, in-home nannying, and direct support for adults with special needs. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and certifications in CPR & First Aid, infant/toddler care, and have demonstrated strengths in classroom leadership, curriculum planning, behavior management, and parent communication.

I consistently prioritize safety, dignity, and development—managing ADLs, medication reminders, seizure awareness, and patient monitoring while fostering social and cognitive growth. I bring dependable organization, strong communication skills, and a service-oriented attitude to roles that require empathy, reliability, and collaborative care.
