The current update is that I have three wonderful nephews: 5, 7 and 2 months old and I also have a niece who just turned two-years-old. I love taking care of kids and have much experience in that area. While studying at UCLA, I became a nanny for a wonderful two-year-old girl in Bel Air. For the next three and half years, I helped raise her - 5 days a week. Every single day we engaged in interactive and imaginative play, explored outside and worked on growing her overall knowledge of the world and various basic concepts like kindness and original thinking. I grew up in a family of educators and spent many of my early years of high school and college helping my mother and sister in their classrooms. For me, every moment with a child is an opportunity to help expand their minds and grow as an individual. Read more Post-UCLA and another year of nannying, I left California to serve in the Peace Corps as an Education Volunteer in Burkina Faso, West Africa. I lived in Burkina Faso for two years where I taught preschool in a rural village to over sixty-six children. I also taught English to high school-aged children and some adults on the side. After returning from the Peace Corps, I found myself back in Los Angeles where I started to teach again at a private preschool in West LA. It was a wonderful opportunity where I was able to plan and prepare incredible, creative lessons for my students. Currently, I live in Northern Long Beach. My passions include yoga, Ayurveda, cooking and overall wellness. While I do not have any of my own children yet, I absolutely love spending time with kids and truly enjoy encouraging them to embrace life to the fullest. To make a child smile and to feel valued is one of my greatest pleasures in life.
