With over 7 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages, I bring both deep knowledge and genuine passion to the care and development of every child I work with. I spent 4 years as an infant caregiver, where I developed a strong foundation in nurturing, safety, and early developmental milestones. Currently, I am a preschool teacher in Mt. Lakes, where I create a warm, engaging environment that supports social, emotional, and academic growth. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Child and Family Studies and am continuing my education at Rutgers University this fall to pursue a degree in Childhood Studies. My long-term goal is to become a licensed Occupational Therapist, specializing in helping children thrive in every aspect of their development. I am deeply committed to supporting families by providing reliable, thoughtful, and developmentally informed care. Whether I’m rocking a baby to sleep or helping a preschooler navigate new challenges, I approach each moment with patience, purpose, and heart.
