More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Compassionate and adaptable early childhood educator with over a decade of diverse experience in classroom and home-based environments. I Began my career in 2011 serving the community as a teacher’s aide and nanny, later earning an A.A.S. in Early Childhood Education in 2014 and advancing to lead teacher roles while continuing nanny work. Life-driven relocations in 2017 and 2018 led to enriched teaching experiences and deeper exploration of alternative educational philosophies. A pivotal role at a Montessori school sparked a strong connection to Montessori and Waldorf methods, inspiring pursuit of NAMC training—which was unexpectedly interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Undeterred, I pivoted into entrepreneurship, launching an in-home daycare that served both former students and the wider community. My in home daycare allowed me to nurture the growth and development of my own child caring for her and her close friends from [phone number hidden] when I graduated them and welcomed my second child.

My experience with special needs children...
Community Engagement & Inclusive Arts [phone number hidden] and Beyond
My journey in inclusive education began with volunteering at Kids on the Block, a nonprofit that uses life-sized puppets to teach children about disabilities diversity and social issues
Later I joined The Penguin Project a national program that empowers children with developmental disabilities to shine in musical theater alongside peer mentors. These early experiences shaped my enduring commitment to child-centered inclusive learning environments
Today I carry that spirit forward cheering on former Penguin performers at Special Olympics and I guide my own children to embrace diversity and weaving empathy into everyday life Whether through work or simple moments of encouragement I aim to foster a world that celebrates belonging for all.

The most important part about being a nanny...
Some of my most treasured moments as a nanny aren’t found in a daily schedule or milestone chart. They’re reflected in long-term relationships that flourish well beyond the early years. Watching former charges graduate from high school and college, celebrating their engagements, and being listed as an emergency contact—it’s a rare and humbling privilege. It means I’ve become part of their village, woven into their story in a meaningful way.
Even more special is seeing my own children form genuine, lasting friendships with those I’ve cared for. It’s a reminder that this work builds bonds across families and generations. Whether through shared playdates or heartfelt reunions, I witness the magic that grows when children are nurtured in a spirit of connection and love.
These moments are my compass. They affirm that caregiving isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong thread of trust, growth, and belonging.
