I have been teaching and caring for children for more than 15 years, and my passion for this work truly comes from the heart. Throughout my career, I have created an environment where children feel safe, loved, confident, and independent.
As a mother of four grown children, a grandmother of four, and a godmother to one, I deeply understand that each child is unique and deserves to be nurtured and respected for who they are. That’s why I believe that when children are in my daycare, they become part of my extended family. I care for and protect them as if they were my own.
My goal is to ensure that every child in my care feels valued, supported, and celebrated. Nothing brings me more joy than watching children grow into strong, responsible, and independent individuals. I take great pride in providing a safe, welcoming, and loving space where parents can trust that their little ones are my top priority.
I also believe strongly in partnering with families. My program emphasizes teamwork between caregivers and parents because we all want the same thing; happy, healthy, and successful children. I encourage active family involvement, and together, we help children build the confidence, compassion, and resilience they need for a bright future.
With my associate’s degree and certifications in Early Childhood Education, First Aid, and CPR, I design age-appropriate, engaging activities that foster each child’s curiosity, creativity, and excitement for learning.
Above all, I am dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing, and safe environment where children and parents feel at home. It is my greatest joy to do what I love and to help every child in my care grow into their best selves.
