A little bit about me

I love babies very much, children of any age, for me they are the first in society, since at the same time they will be the future of this beautiful country that is the United States, therefore we must give them a lot of love so when they are adults just show love in society. My great gift is being a babysitter ♥️

A little bit about me

I am an experienced childcare provider, educator, and youth development program manager. I began in childcare at age 14, when I’d get paid $6/hour to entertain my parents’ friends’ kids. I’ve loved the dynamism, joy, and creativity of children since. I have worked for private families for over eight years as a nanny, tutor, and household assistant. I also have experience in education, teaching in both a classroom setting for a non-profit organization that provides political and civics education, as well as a music and theatre instructor in a camp. After I graduated from UC Berkeley, I transitioned to youth programmatic work in which I manage a national youth activism program, providing training, curriculum development, and logistics coordination.

In my free time, I love to hike, surf, rock climb, and basically do anything outside. I also have an extensive arts background and am practiced and both performing (music, storytelling, theatre) and visual (ceramics) arts mediums!

I’m the oldest of four siblings, including one who is on the autism spectrum, which has deeply shaped my patience, empathy, and understanding of diverse needs. Professionally, I work with the Oakland Unified School District as a paraprofessional, supporting students with autism and helping them thrive both academically and socially. In addition, I serve as an after-school teacher for kindergarteners, where I create a positive, engaging environment that supports early learning and development.
