Hi! I'm a fourth-year Psychology major at VCU with a minor in Health Sciences. I have several years of experience caring for children ages 1–15, including those with disabilities. I've worked as both a caregiver and an assistant preschool teacher, focusing on behavior support, communication development, and individualized care. I'm CPR/First Aid certified and passionate about creating safe, supportive, and engaging environments for kids. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel understood. I love building strong connections with each child and supporting their unique needs.
