A little bit about me

I grew up in the Philippines and have one child who is now 21 years old. I previously worked in a military child care program as a Teacher Assistant and resigned last month due to relocating to Ohio.
In my role, I cared for five one-year-old childrens in my classroom. I created weekly lesson plans and implemented curriculum-based activities that support children’s communication, cognitive, self-regulation, physical, and social-emotional development.
I hold certifications in CPR and First Aid, and I have completed Virtual Lab School training required for military child care providers. I earned my Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential for Infant and Toddler on March 16, 2026.
I truly enjoy working with young children—teaching, guiding, and supporting them as they grow, develop good manners, and learn positive behavior. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment, and I value diversity in all aspects of early childhood education.

Hello! I'm a current undergraduate at the University of Akron with around 5 years of childcare experience! I worked at a childcare facility for around 3 years as a teacher and then moved on to become a swim instructor for kids ages 1-12! I'm especially good with kids who have separation or generalized anxieties, and neurodivergent or disabled kiddos. I am currently taking a semester off of my classes to become more financially stable! I am willing to cook and do house work as well! I hope I can bring a smile to you and your child!
