I have completed one year of graduate school in Early Childhood Education with a minor in American Sign Language. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, including 4 years as a nanny and 2 years in a daycare setting with infants through Pre-K. Recently, I’ve also interned at The Fisher-Price Endowed Early Childhood Research Center in Buffalo and have cared for school-age children in before- and after-school programs. I am also partnered with SmartSitter, a childcare agency that connects families with qualified and trusted caregivers in which I provide reliable childcare services to families with children of various ages and needs.

I am a recreational ballet dancer who enjoys puzzles and painting. I am also extremely creative and I love coming up with new and fun adventures for kids to enjoy. I hate for children to be bored, so I like to do arts and crafts projects, read and sing to them, play card and board games, pretend play, bake with them, and go to the park. I even have a recipe for homemade play dough! I have also been an after school teacher for children, grades K-5 and I am currently studying to become a Newborn Care Specialist. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and pre-teens and I love connecting with each child on their level. I am naturally drawn to children which is why I love to spend time with them and be a part of their lives. I formerly worked as a cook and baker so I don't mind cooking and baking for/with the kids as well. I am currently CPR/First Aid certified and I have excellent references.
