Hi! I love caring for children, spending time with them and seeing them flourish! Working and playing with children is a passion of mine and I hope to be able to do it throughout my life. They bring me so much joy and satisfaction when I see them accomplish something or reach a milestone, even if it's a small one. I currently work as an assistant teacher at a daycare. I encourage children to be confident in themselves and their abilities, while putting in the effort to achieve their tasks. I'm patient, kind, empathetic, fun, playful, education forward, and well-rounded. My interests are wide and varied. Love making art, jigsaw puzzles, books, the outdoors, and learning new ways to engage little ones. I love interacting with children, helping them learn, grow, be independent and become confident people. As much as I take my position seriously, I am also very playful Read more and light-hearted.

I feel so incredibly lucky to have met Lorena. My son was 12 months old when she joined our family and she quickly became one of his favorite people in the world. Her patience, love, and creativity in tending to our son’s needs have been exceptional. Not only is Lorena dedicated and loving towards our child, but she is also incredibly reliable and generous in her support to us as parents. I will forever be grateful to her for helping us navigate through the early toddler years. I hope the next family fortunate enough to welcome her into their lives will appreciate and cherish her as much as we do.
