With more than 16 years of leadership experience in childcare and education, I currently serve as a Center Director in Irvine, California, where I have overseen daily operations, staffing, program quality, compliance, and educational programming for infants through school-age children for the past 11 years.
In addition to my executive leadership experience, I have extensive hands-on experience working in private homes as a nanny, household manager, newborn care specialist, doula and caregiver. My background includes birth and postpartum doula support, overnight newborn care, sleep training, and family assistance during the critical transition into parenthood.
My educational background includes:
Master of Education & Master of Human Resources
Bachelor of Arts in Writing
California Child Care Director Permit (Current)
Additional Early Childhood Education coursework and certifications
I maintain current:
CPR Certification & Mandated Reporter Training
California Child Care Licensing clearance and background clearance
I have experience supporting diverse family structures, including same-sex households, and am comfortable maintaining a kosher home and accommodating a variety of family values, traditions, and parenting approaches.
As a mother of three children, including two grade-school-aged daughters and one child currently attending college, I understand firsthand the importance of dependable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care.
I bring a unique combination of executive-level childcare leadership, private family experience, newborn expertise, and a genuine passion for supporting children and families.
I am currently looking for one time or occasional support, opened to potential overnights or travel with advance notice or assisting in one off childcare event such as wedding or event support. I have been focused on operating my school hence my hiatus from using the app as I frequently used while living in the bay area as per my reviews.
