About Tonya

Experience: 10 yrs

For over a decade, I've found immense joy in nurturing young minds and supporting families through childcare. My graduate degree has enhanced my understanding of child development. I'm patient, creative, and approachable. I strive to make a positive impact on each child's life. I have experience with special needs children. I am comfortable caring for one child, ages 0-11, with a particular focus on toddlers. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and even some technology-based games. Communication is key; I follow parents' preferred method, providing regular updates. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and crafts. I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. My previous babysitting roles confirmed my desire to provide reliable care. I look forward to bringing my experience and enthusiasm to your family, creating a safe and fun environment for your little one.
