About me

I grew up in a very small town in North Carolina, as the youngest of 4 other siblings. Growing up in the country really gave me a love for being outside and adventuring. I also have always loved making art/music from as early as I can remember. After high school, I went to my town's community college where I worked on my associate's degree. I am hoping to attend Brooklyn college in the springtime to work on my BA in child education. Since I last was in school I have moved to two states working with children along the way, including daycares and nannying for different families. I have enjoyed it so much and am hoping to continue that work as I finish my education.

Starting at age 14 I babysat for multiple families with multiple children in my town. I then got a job at a daycare working with children from newborn to 12 years. Classrooms ranging in sizes of 6 to 20 children per class depending on age. I then moved to Richmond VA and continued on working in a center, my class being the 1-2-year-olds, as well as being the art teacher for the entire center. Sadly when covid hit the centers were shut down but, I started a job as a nanny for a very sweet 1 and 4-year-old. Duties including, meal preparation, covid save outdoor activities, changing diapers, and providing fun and educational activities and crafts. I then moved to NYC and continued nannying for a then 2 now 3-year-old girl. This job includes navigating the city in a covid friendly way for outdoor activities, meal prep, educational crafts, and bathing and hair care. I am first aid and CPR certified and have completed many childcare training courses throughout my time working in a center.

I once heard someone say of course they want their child to be happy but, they also wanted them to be happy as an adult and this really resonated with me. 1 to 5 years old is the most important developmental time in children's lives and I want to ensure that time is filled with a loving caregiver who provides positive reinforcement, tools to manage feelings a creative outlet that brings them joy. This in the hopes they can navigate through life and be the kind people of the future that make it better.
