I have loved caring for children for as long as I can remember, and with over 15 years of experience, supporting and nurturing kids has become a true passion of mine. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Public Health and have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, which has strengthened my ability to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), giving families added confidence in my skills and reliability. I am dedicated to creating a positive, engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. While I plan to further my education in the future, I am currently focused on doing what I love most working closely with children and being a dependable, caring presence in their lives.
