A little bit about me

I've worked in child care as a nanny and teacher for 13 years and can say I've truly found my passion in life. Nothing makes me happier than helping children foster their independence and confidence.

Whether working through structured academic activities or riding the Pink line to explore the National Museum of Mexican Art, I'm always intentional about making every moment a teachable moment.

I'm also an artist with my Masters in Creative Writing and love exposing kiddos to all kinds of books, music, and art!
