A little bit about me

"Starting with my first babysitting jobs in elementary school, I discovered a lifelong passion that eventually led to a career in early childhood education.
I gained valuable experience working for several preschools in the Mesa-Tempe area before pursuing formal training.
I attended Mesa Community College, earning a degree in Special Needs Early Childhood Education and Development. My dedication led me to Maricopa County Head Start, where I truly found my calling. I began as an aide and worked diligently to advance, ultimately serving as both a Lead Teacher and a Site Director.
Due to health concerns, I temporarily stepped away from my professional career to raise my special needs niece. Now that she is 18, I am eager to return to the classroom, focusing on my love for helping children meet their developmental milestones."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Highly accomplished Early Childhood Educator and Site Director with 16+ years of progressive experience in diverse learning environments. Specialized in infant and toddler development (\bm{0-3} years) across major East Valley institutions for eight years before advancing into leadership roles.

Successfully served eight years at Maricopa County Head Start as both a Lead Teacher and a Site Director, focusing on program management and staff leadership. Holds a Certificate in Early Childhood Education and formal training in Child Development. Proven track record in fostering developmental milestones and creating inclusive, high-quality learning programs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

"I am deeply committed to hands-on learning, believing that children best develop and grasp concepts when they are actively engaged in play and directly experiencing the world around them.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Above all else, my fundamental commitment is ensuring the safety and well-being of every child in my care. This foundation allows me to focus on the most rewarding part of teaching young children: the joy of watching them learn, grow, and explore their world."

My experience with special needs children...

"I bring a unique and comprehensive perspective to special needs education. Professionally, I served at a Head Start Special Needs Preschool, applying evidence-based strategies in the classroom. Personally, I have also spent the last eighteen years raising a child with autism, which has provided me with invaluable insight, deep empathy, and an unwavering commitment to meeting diverse developmental needs."

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite part of working with young children is individualizing activities to help children learn and develop. At the beginning of the year I would worhabe children whole spoke English and ones who only spoke Spanish and by the end of the year the children were learning both languages
