Hi! I can't wait to meet your family! I have extensive experience in Early Childhood Education, including many years of working with neurodiverse children. I have a Master's Degree in Education and Counseling so I place a strong emphasis on behavior and social emotional development when caring for children in their homes. I feel strongly about creating a partnership with parents so we are all on the same page and working together to support the child's global development. I love involving children in cooking and meal prep and enjoy taking children out to explore their communities. Outside of my professional interests, I am an avid traveler and a very proud dog mom to the 3 cutest chihuahuas in the world.
