A little bit about me

Caring for children and watching them grow has been my passion for the past 20 years. I bring a calm, patient presence to my care, and enjoy working with children of all ages including newborns.

My previous families would say that what they like most about having me care for their children is that I feel like part of their family.

I prioritize clear communication, providing updates through your preferred method, whether that is a quick text or a detailed conversation at pickup.

I speak both Spanish and English allowing me to connect with diverse families. I look forward to bringing my experience and caring nature into your home.

I look forward to hearing from you.
