About Me & My Experience "I am a career caregiver and educator with a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts and specialized training in child development. I bring a unique blend of high-level academic knowledge and 'in-the-trenches' experience to every home. Currently, I work in a fast-paced infant care environment managing the needs of 8 infants simultaneously. This role has sharpened my ability to remain calm, organized, and safety-focused under pressure—skills I am excited to bring to a private family setting. Previously, I spent two years as a dedicated nanny for a family with a young child, building a bond that remains strong today. My Training & Certifications Education: Master’s Degree in Fine Arts (MFA). Safety: CPR and First Aid Certified. Driver: Clean driving record and valid license. Health & Wellness: Confident swimmer and advocate for active, outdoor play. Expert Network: I regularly consult with a pediatrician mentor to stay updated Read more on the latest health and developmental best practices. My Philosophy I believe that being around children is a source of joy and energy. Based on my university studies and hands-on experience, I know that when children are shown real, unconditional love, they adapt to positive behaviors naturally. When they encounter genuine support, they manage their lives not because they 'have to,' but because they want to. A child who feels secure and 'complete' grows into a self-confident individual who is aware of their own desires and potential. I believe that self-acceptance is the door to success, and my main goal is to help children build that habit from a young age so they can emerge as incredible, compassionate adults.
