A little bit about me

With 6 years of professional experience in childcare, I specialize in infant care and have cared for children of all ages. Currently based in Oregon and looking to relocate back to the Bay Area, I am CPR and First Aid certified, with training in Early Years Supervision, Safe Sleep for Infants, and more. Recently, I became a certified birth doula, which has strengthened my understanding of newborn and maternal care. My focus is on creating calm, peaceful environments where children feel secure and nurtured, always mindful to avoid overstimulation and support healthy attachments.

I am known for my honesty, passion, and gentle approach, bringing warmth and patience into each family I work with. My caregiving style emphasizes open communication, gentle guidance, and a stable routine to support each child’s development at their own pace. I encourage children to be their authentic selves, creating a space where they feel valued, safe, and empowered to explore the world around them.
