I’m a warm, playful caregiver with 15+ years of experience working in daycare centers and preschools, and I’m also a mom of three myself. I hold a degree in Family and Human Services, which gives me a strong foundation in child development and family support. I love creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and feel safe, while also maintaining clear routines and boundaries. Children’s health and safety are always my top priorities, and I strive to provide a caring, trustworthy environment for every child I work with.
