With a decade of caregiving experience under my belt, I've honed my skills in nurturing individuals of all ages, from newborns to those with unique needs, particularly within the autism spectrum. I have worked both part time and full time private care jobs as well as 2 daycare centers and a Montessori school. All of which were very different but I learned a lot from and am grateful to be able to apply the lessons I’ve learned in care taking! Raised in a household deeply rooted in Montessori philosophy, I've internalized principles of respect, independence, and individualized care. I feel that this lesson is the most important lesson I’ve learned and was lucky enough to be raised by my mom who has been a Montessori teacher for 30 years and my mentor. Outside of my caregiving endeavors, I work with local non profit organizations that focus on rescuing and rehabilitating Read more animals. I also managing my own small floral business on the side as floral and botanical mean everything to me . These pursuits complement my caregiving ethos, enriching my understanding of compassion and holistic wellness. My caregiving journey wether it be for plants, animals or children has been fueled by a blend of expertise, empathy, and a deep-seated commitment to enriching the lives of those in my care.
