About Valerie

Experience: 2 yrs

Hi! My name is Valerie. I'm a nursing major with two years of experience working with children, both in childcare settings and as an after-school mentor and coach. I volunteer at a health clinic specializing in pediatrics, which has strengthened my ability to communicate, stay organized, and provide compassionate care. I'm patient, calm, and creative, and I love finding ways to keep kids engaged-whether that's through outdoor activities, board games, or fun educational projects. I'm comfortable caring for children of all ages and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment. I keep parents updated with daily reports and am always quick to address any concerns. im confident in enforcing household rules and helping kids understand the importance of structure and respect. Thank you for your time, feel free to message me with any questions!

“Valerie cared for my son during a particularly challenging time when he was adjusting to a new school. Valerie’s patience and creativity made all the difference. She not only helped my son with homework but also created games to boost his confidence and made every interaction fun and encouraging. My son looked forward to their time together, and the positive impact Valerie had was clear in his improved mood and focus. I couldn’t recommend her more for her unique ability to connect with kids and make them feel truly supported!”
