A little bit about me

Warm, creative, and Montessori-trained individual with a passion for nurturing children's independence and growth. I bring hands-on experience in Montessori settings, where I’ve fostered self-motivation and confidence in young learners. I love incorporating arts and crafts, reading time, and outdoor play into our daily rhythm to encourage creativity, literacy, and active exploration. I also enjoy preparing healthy meals and supporting children in learning practical life skills. With a deep love for children and a calm, attentive approach, I create a safe, engaging environment where kids thrive.

A little bit about me

I am 22 years old with a bachelor's degree in Biology and another in Psychology. I am working my way through graduate school where I am pursuing a master's in social work. Ultimately I want to work with children in the foster care system who have dealt with abuse and neglect. Through middle school and high school babysitting was my frequent job. Before college I nannied 3 children for the summer. They were two boys aged 11 and 8 and a 4-year-old girl. We did activities like the water park, zoo, beaches, and parks every month. We also kept up with their school skills. Fun times indoors range anywhere from building a fort on a rainy day to making play dough and slime. Last summer after graduation I decided to spend it with my nephews. They were 5 and 6 months. I grew up with a wonderful nanny who I have great memories with. It makes me happy knowing I can be that person for other kids. I also have experience as a professional tutor with children from 4 years old to college students.
