Fully vaccinated for COVID 19! Starting as a babysitter, over 20 years ago, I have worked with children, and haven' t lost passion for it. Over the years, I worked in a variety of positions, including summer camps, daycare teaching, and as a professional nanny. As a childcare provider, my focus is to work with families, evaluate their needs with it comes to care, and offer advise and suggestions on how to improve and better their family dynamics in terms of childcare. In additional to being an experienced nanny, I was a 2012 SPARK Award in Nanny Excellence Nominee and am trained as a Postpartum Doula. Education includes a BA in Studio Art, a BA in Social & Behavioral Sciences with a Psychology Minor, and I will be starting graduate school in the fall for a Masters of Sciences in Education Psychology with a concentration in Applied Behavioral Analysis.
