A little bit about me

I have a strong background in caregiving, with extensive experience working with families and children of all ages. As the oldest of four girls, I naturally stepped into a leadership and nurturing role from a young age, helping care for and guide my younger sisters. Over the years, I have expanded this experience by working with a wide range of families, supporting children with diverse needs.

I’m very outgoing, playful, and active — qualities that come from playing sports all my life — and I enjoy bringing that energy into the way I interact with kids. I believe in keeping children engaged, whether through play, learning, or creativity. Academically, I’ve tutored many students and have worked with various nonprofit organizations that focus on assisting children with mental disabilities and preparing students for college success.
