A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) childcare provider with 8+ years of experience working with children from preschool through adolescence. My background includes preschool teaching, behavioral therapy, and working closely with families to support children’s routines, behavior, and emotional development.
I’m patient, engaging, and love creating a safe, structured, and fun environment for kids. I’m very comfortable handling big emotions, helping with routines, and keeping children active and involved throughout the day.
I’m currently taking time to study for LMFT licensing exam and am looking for a consistent summer or short-term nanny position where I can support a family in a reliable and caring way.
