About Me

I have always had a natural affinity for working with children, and I find immense joy in fostering their growth and development. My previous experience nannying a 4-year-old child allowed me to form a strong, trusting bond while supporting their learning and social skills. I love creating engaging, educational activities that help children thrive, while ensuring they feel safe and cared for in a nurturing environment.

In addition to my professional experience, I have also been closely involved in the care of my three younger sisters since my mother was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. This responsibility has deepened my understanding of the importance of patience, empathy, and creating a stable, supportive environment for children, especially during challenging times. It has also given me invaluable experience in balancing caregiving with fostering independence and confidence in children.

As someone with a strong academic background in brain sciences, I understand the stages of child development and how to tailor activities to support cognitive, emotional, and social growth. My experience in tutoring children has further reinforced my passion for education, as I love helping young minds grasp new concepts and develop their skills in a way that is enjoyable and rewarding for them. I take pride in making learning fun and accessible, and I’m committed to fostering curiosity and confidence in children.

Becoming a childminder is not just a job for me—it’s a passion. I enjoy being a part of a child’s journey as they discover new things, and I’m dedicated to providing care that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and empathy. My background allows me to approach caregiving not only from a nurturing perspective but also as an opportunity to integrate learning into everyday activities.

I look forward to working closely with families to provide the support and guidance children need, and I believe that my personal and professional experiences, combined with my academic background, make me an ideal candidate for you.
