A little bit about me

I am an experienced early childhood educator with a Master’s Degree in Education and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. For many years, I have worked as a lead preschool teacher, helping children build confidence, develop self-regulation skills, and grow socially and emotionally.

My approach combines warmth, patience, and structure. I am passionate about creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to learn. I also have a background in mindfulness and yoga, which allows me to incorporate age-appropriate breathing, movement, and calming techniques into my work.

As a mother of three adult children and a grandmother, I bring both professional knowledge and real-life parenting experience. I am CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, organized, and committed to providing exceptional care. I am excited to transition into a nanny role where I can offer individualized support and build meaningful relationships with children and families.
