A little bit about me

I’m a 20-year-old nursing student with a strong passion for working with children and supporting their development. I have hands-on experience as a teacher assistant in a daycare, where I cared for children ranging from infants to 5 years old. In that role, I created a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment while helping with daily routines, early learning activities, and behavior guidance.

I also have experience in a pediatric clinic, which strengthened my ability to stay calm, attentive, and supportive when working with children and families. Being bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to communicate effectively with a wide range of families.

I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy building connections with children. I’m currently looking for an opportunity where I can provide more one-on-one care and continue growing in a role that aligns with my passion for childcare and my future career in nursing.
