I am an EEC-certified infant/toddler teacher and recently received my Child Development Associate Credential. I am currently the lead infant teacher at a local daycare center and also serve as the curriculum specialist. Additionally, I have been babysitting for 8 years, providing childcare to kids from newborns to teens. I have countless hours of professional and personal educational development in this field. I have a gentle caregiving approach, always leading with compassion and empathy, focusing on social and emotional development. I believe in positive guidance and conscious discipline and steer away from timeouts, raising my voice, and belittling children for processing big emotions. I am CPR/First Aid certified and I am currently working on becoming a Newborn Care Specialist! I am passionate about spending time exploring, outdoors, and getting messy with limited screen time! I love doing art projects, sensory play, and dramatic play with older kiddos. I am also Read more passionate about perinatal mental health and mental wellness in general. I am well versed in American Sign Language and would love to implement that with your littles. I look forward to connecting!
