I’ve always been an older sister, and with that came responsibilities—watching over my siblings, cooking, cleaning, helping with homework, and making sure they were ready for the day. It was my favorite time of the day because we bonded while getting things done. That experience shaped my passion for caregiving and led me to become both a nanny and an RBT. As an RBT, I use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children develop essential life skills, communicate effectively, and navigate the world with confidence. That same knowledge helps me as a nanny, allowing me to create a structured yet nurturing environment where kids feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. Whether I’m helping with routines, managing big emotions, or making learning fun, I bring patience, understanding, and a love for what I do into every moment.
