About me
Many consider me to a ray of sunshine. I am a very energetic, spontaneous, happy person who always smiles at the world under any situation, I consider myself to be a chameleon. I always keep a positive mindset, life is full of unexpected things and we have to make the best of it. I enjoy reading, writing ( I love getting childrem into books), going on walks with my yorkies. I enjoy walking in the rain and just staring up at the sky. I love making those around me happy and seeing the good in every given situation.
I believe everyone is capable of doing amazing things and I am always that one that would encourage others to follow their dreams and do something that scares them; why? Because why not! Maybe you'll fall but oh boy what if you fly!! Everyday on this planet is a blessing and I like to show people that. A smile a day will keep sadness away. I am a great believer that a day without laughter is a day wasted.
I also believe every child is a blessing and with the right encouragement they will strive and be the magical creatures they are meant to be. Life is only one and I see to live each day as the blessing it is.
I love art, music and creativity. I love seeing children's imaginations fly and step out of the box and just seeing them being and feeling comfortable in their own skin.
I am a ray a sunshine everyone should welcome in their home.
SMILE, LIFE IS MAGIC!!!

done with my Masters in Education and be a certified Teacher. I also want to be in the process of finishing my first book and working on my second. I want to be happy and still working with children which is my passion.
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I love arts and craft. I enjoy teaching them to love books and the importance of being kind. To always try your best, even if you fail as long as you try it's enough! I also always tell them that they can be whatever they want to be because I believe every child is capable of learning.
