A little bit about me

Originally from Oklahoma, I began my journey in child care as a Taekwondo instructor during high school and college. These experiences instilled in me the values of patience, compassion, and the joy of seeing children grow and thrive.

Relocating to the Bay Area for my marketing career, I am currently exploring my passions, one of which is working with kids. There's nothing more fulfilling than witnessing their joy for adventure, creativity, and I’m always impressed by the boundless energy.

Now, I'm excited to embark on a new chapter in my life and bring my expertise and enthusiasm to your family. Together, we can create a nurturing and engaging environment that fosters growth, happiness, and unforgettable memories for your children.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I served as a Taekwondo instructor during my high school and college years, I gained valuable experience in child care that remains relevant to this day. Teaching Taekwondo provided me with a unique perspective on nurturing their physical, emotional, and cognitive development.

As a Taekwondo instructor, I learned the importance of patience and understanding when working with kids of different ages and personalities. I tailored my teaching approach to each child's individual needs, ensuring they felt comfortable and motivated to participate. This adaptability and attentiveness are still essential qualities in child care, as every child requires personalized attention to flourish.

Teaching Taekwondo to children taught me how to create a safe and encouraging environment that promotes self-discipline and boosts self-confidence. These traits are crucial in any child care setting, as they help children build resilience and a positive self-image, fostering their overall growth.
