I received my degree in Psychology in 1997. I believe it is imperative to have a stable and loving environment. I have a passion for nurturing and educating young minds. My journey in childcare began with fulfilling babysitting roles, where I discovered the joy of positively impacting children's lives. My approach to childcare is centered around patience, creativity, and open communication. I believe in fostering a nurturing environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore their full potential. As a highly organized and responsible caregiver, I'm adept at managing daily routines, ensuring a balance of educational activities, physical play, and relaxation. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules while maintaining a positive and nurturing atmosphere. My strengths lie in engaging children through a variety of games and activities, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that stimulate their curiosity and creativity.
