Since the age of 13, I discovered my passion for caring for children, and ever since, I have dedicated my life to supporting their growth with love, patience, and creativity. I now have more than 5 years of professional experience as a Lead Toddler Teacher, along with a long personal background as a nanny, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of child development and the emotional and educational needs of young children. My greatest joy is watching each child learn, explore, express themselves, and discover the world at their own pace. I believe in creating an environment where warmth, safety, and play come together to build meaningful experiences that support their social, emotional, motor, and cognitive development. Certified in first AID and CPR, Epi-pen/medication with dedication to creating safe, inclusive and engaging learning environments for all children. I also have a diploma of effective instruction for early Read more childhood education
