As a child growing up I always knew I wanted to work with children, be a teacher, educator and nurturer hoping to leave an imprint on every child's life I come in contact with. Children have always seem to gravitate to me no matter where I go, which makes my job even more fun and special, knowing they feel safe, comfortable and at ease with me. I started babysitting at the age of 12, my first real job was at a daycare in RI at the age of 15. I moved to CT 20 years ago for a full time nanny job for a wonderful family that I stayed with for 10 years, raising 3 girls from birth to high school years. I've taught classes at both My Gym and Kids U along with being a party hostess. I work at the Easton Community Center as their Event Planner and Read more certified in Rock climbing their also. I worked as an infant teacher at Children's Community Development Center in Westport , while still educating myself in working towards an Early Childhood Education Degree . I am CPR/First-Aid Certified, Medication Administration certified, FBI Background Check ✅, very organized, respectful, and most of all will keep your children safe! I am your Go-To-Girl, with many talents and a great multi-tasker!
