Summary

I am a professional and loving childcare. While my academic background is in industrial engineering, my heart has always been drawn to working with children. I discovered that my true passion lies in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for kids, an endeavor that fills me with immense joy.

My journey as an industrial engineer has equipped me with strong organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills, which I believe are invaluable assets in the realm of childcare. Also,I spent my recent years traveling around, thereby broadening my horizons and gaining exposure to diverse environments.

What I bring to the table is a commitment to fostering a positive and safe space for children to thrive. My background, coupled with my natural affinity for childcare, allows me to contribute to the growth and well-being of the young minds with creativity, adaptability, and a keen eye for detail. I am versatile and adaptable in conducting errands, cooking, changing diapers and entertaining children according to parental specifications, I am a reliable and supportive member of house operations, assisting family as extenuating circumstances arise.
