Experienced childcare professional delivering reliable, nurturing, and organized care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated childcare professional with hands-on experience caring for infants and young children in private household settings, offering enrichment, structured itineraries, and consistent family communication. My background includes full-time nanny roles and front-desk hospitality work that strengthened my customer service and multitasking abilities.
In my most recent role I provide developmentally appropriate activities, transportation to classes, and flexible problem-solving to meet family needs. Previously, I developed daily schedules, meal planning, and educational engagements while maintaining a tidy, safe environment for children.
My hospitality experience as a front desk agent and prior cashier/barista work sharpened my administrative skills, familiarity with computer systems, and ability to respond promptly to client inquiries while maintaining high service standards. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Religious Studies and 15 ECE units from community colleges that support my child-focused expertise.
Outside paid roles, I have volunteered extensively with childcare at my church, participated in service trips, and help on my family's hobby farm—experiences that reinforce patience, responsibility, and practical hands-on skills. I bring reliability, clear communication, and an emphasis on enrichment to every family I work with.
