Background, Qualifications & Experience
I bring over 30 years of experience in education and childcare, supported by Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework and a lifelong commitment to supporting children’s growth and development. My professional background has centered on working with children and families in diverse educational settings, where I have supported academic, social, and emotional development across a wide range of ages and needs.
In addition to my professional experience, I am a single parent who raised three children and have been actively involved in helping raise seven grandchildren. These lived experiences have strengthened my understanding of children’s developmental stages, daily care routines, and the importance of consistency, patience, and nurturing support in a home environment.
I am also a trained birth and postpartum doula, which has further deepened my ability to support families during sensitive and important transitions. This work has strengthened my skills in newborn care, infant soothing techniques, maternal support, and family-centered communication.
Personality Traits
I am calm, nurturing, and dependable, with a natural ability to connect with children of all ages. I bring a warm, steady presence into the home and focus on creating a safe, structured, and loving environment. I am patient and attentive, able to respond thoughtfully to children’s emotional and physical needs while maintaining clear and consistent boundaries.
Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I value collaboration with parents and prioritize alignment with family routines, expectations, and parenting styles.
