More About Me

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

As a responsible and compassionate caregiver with a background in psychology and child development, I bring a calm, nurturing presence to families seeking reliable support for children of all ages. I’ve worked extensively with youth in both leadership and caregiving roles, including as a Senior Resident Assistant at Adelphi University, where I mentored over 200 students, resolved conflicts, responded to emergencies, and created engaging, age-appropriate programming.

I’m patient, creative, and always focused on fostering safe, enriching environments where children feel heard, supported, and encouraged to grow. I bring an informed, trauma-sensitive approach to care, along with a deep understanding of emotional development and behavior. I’m comfortable with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens.

Whether you need help with homework, imaginative play, or just keeping things on schedule, I’m here to be a dependable, engaging presence for your family.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I engage children of all ages in activities that support their growth and joy. For younger kids, I plan sensory play, story time, arts and crafts, and outdoor exploration. With school-age children, I assist with homework, organize creative games, and encourage reading, STEM projects, and independent learning. I also promote physical activity through dance, sports, and nature walks. For teens, I offer mentorship, support with academic goals, and balanced screen time. Every activity is age-appropriate, safe, and designed to nurture curiosity, confidence, and emotional well-being—all while aligning with each family’s values and routines.

My experience with special needs children...

I have extensive experience working with children with autism and other special needs, providing patient, attentive, and individualized care. I support daily routines, communication development, and positive behavior strategies while creating a calm and engaging environment where children feel safe, understood, and supported.
