About Me
I bring a well-rounded, compassionate, and knowledgeable approach to childcare, shaped by personal, professional, and academic experiences. My background combines years of hands-on care with a solid foundation in child development and educational psychology.
Personal Experience with Special Needs:
Growing up with a younger brother who has Down syndrome gave me early and meaningful insight into supporting children with developmental and cognitive differences. I’ve been actively involved in his care from a young age, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and deep empathy. This experience continues to inform how I connect with and care for children of all abilities.
Professional Experience with Autism:
I currently work part-time with children and young adults on the autism spectrum, where I create personalized learning plans, lead engaging activities, and support emotional and social development. Through this role, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, behavior management, and fostering independence in a safe and supportive environment.
General Babysitting and Childcare:
Over the past few years, I’ve provided babysitting services for families with children ranging from infants to teenagers. Whether it's bottle-feeding a baby, helping with homework, organizing creative activities, or coordinating group play, I’m comfortable juggling multiple responsibilities while keeping kids safe, engaged, and happy.
Educational Background:
I’m currently pursuing a degree in Educational Psychology, which enhances my ability to support learning, emotional regulation, and developmental milestones in children. I apply what I learn academically to my daily childcare work, ensuring evidence-based, thoughtful approaches tailored to each child’s needs.
Additional Skills:
I’m certified in basic First Aid and CPR, familiar with preparing nutritious meals for kids, and happy to assist with light housekeeping tasks when needed. Above all, I aim to create a nurturing, fun, and safe environment where children feel heard, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
My Experience
I have a well-rounded and diverse background in childcare that combines personal experience, professional work, and academic knowledge. Here's a breakdown of what I bring to the table:
Personal Experience with Special Needs: Growing up with a younger brother who has Down syndrome has given me invaluable firsthand experience in understanding the needs of children with developmental and cognitive differences. This has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of adapting activities to meet individual needs. I've been actively involved in his care and development, which has helped me build a deep understanding of the challenges and joys that come with supporting children with special needs.
Part-Time Role with Individuals with Autism: I currently work part-time with children and young adults with autism. In this role, I focus on creating individualized learning plans, organizing engaging activities, and supporting the emotional and social development of each person. This experience has sharpened my ability to communicate effectively, build rapport, and develop strategies for managing challenging behaviors while fostering a sense of independence and confidence.
Babysitting and Childcare Experience: Over the past years, I’ve babysat for children ranging in age from infants to teenagers. From changing diapers and feeding babies to helping older kids with homework and organizing fun activities, I have a broad skill set when it comes to caring for children. I’m experienced in managing multiple kids at once, keeping them engaged with educational games, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and more.
Educational Psychology Degree: I’m currently pursuing a degree in Educational Psychology, which deepens my understanding of child development, learning disabilities, and how to create effective learning environments. I’ve gained expertise in cognitive development, emotional regulation, and techniques for supporting children with diverse learning needs, and I apply this knowledge both in my academic work and in real-world settings.
Other Relevant Skills: In addition to my work with children, I have training in first aid and basic CPR, ensuring that I can respond effectively in case of any emergencies. I’m also familiar with meal planning and preparing nutritious, kid-friendly meals, as well as managing light household tasks like tidying up or laundry if needed. I was also a nursery assistant.
