What I'm looking for

I am looking for caregiving roles that prioritize safety, clear communication, hands-on child or pet care responsibilities, supportive team culture, and opportunities for professional training and growth.

I am a dedicated childcare and pet care professional with broad hands-on experience in babysitting, camp counseling, respite care, dog sitting and dog walking. I bring years of real-world caregiving across residential, camp and community settings.

I have formal certifications in first aid/CPR/AED and several New York State Office of Children and Family Services trainings, reflecting my commitment to safety, child health and mandated reporting. I apply attentive observation and problem-solving to keep children and animals safe and engaged.

My work history includes roles as a camp counselor, recreation attendant, and owner/operator of a pet-related business, plus long-term freelance translation and tutoring experience. I emphasize clear communication, organization and adaptability in every position.

I seek opportunities where I can contribute reliable caregiving, strong interpersonal skills and a safety-first approach while continuing to grow professionally in child care, camp services or community support roles.
