A little bit about me

I have been on disability for some time, which means I haven't worked in a while, but that doesn’t mean I lack skills or passion. When I get the chance to work, I put my heart into it.

As an aunt to five wonderful niece and nephews, including great-nephews and a niece, I feel like a bonus mom to them, and the joy I felt welcoming each of them into the family is indescribable.

I excel in social environments and have a natural talent for connecting with people. Despite my lack of recent work experience, I am fully capable of stepping into any role and believe my enthusiasm and dedication can make a positive impact on any job I undertake.

A little bit about me

I’ve always loved working with children. Growing up in a large family, I helped care for my siblings and cousins, which sparked my passion for caregiving. I have three years of experience as a literacy tutor, two years as a pre-K instructor, and worked as a behavior support specialist in a transitional kindergarten class. I also led an afterschool program for two years, creating fun, structured environments. I’ve completed coursework in child development, developmental and abnormal psychology, and applied behavior analysis. I'm currently pursuing a master’s in school psychology to deepen my understanding of child development, learning strategies, and behavior support. My experience across educational and behavioral settings helps me bring patience, creativity, and a nurturing approach to caregiving. I love being a sitter because it allows me to build meaningful relationships with children while supporting their growth.
