A little bit about me

I have a background as a mother’s helper in high school, a special needs attendant in college, a part-time nanny for my 2-year-old niece, and most recently served as a companion and caretaker for an elderly couple with dementia and Parkinson’s. These experiences have developed my confidence and comfort in managing both childcare and household responsibilities. My duties have included caring for children, preparing meals, organizing the kitchen, supporting instruction, and handling general housework. Last year, I served in an administrative role at Chelsea Academy, but working directly with children remains my primary passion.
