About me

I grew up in the city of Brooklyn, New York. Im currently a resident of the Bronx area. I am the oldest of 5 children. Being the oldest, I would always look over my siblings. Changing diapers, preparing and serving meals, and entertaining children have always been a part of my life. This naturally turned me into a caregiver. I attended Mercy College for Psychology. With the knowledge received there, I used that to understand children’s behavior. After college, I persuaded a Fashion Design career. With the help of The Arts Institute. I am very energetic, dependable, warm, friendly, and punctual. My favorite hobbies are yoga, painting, cooking, traveling, and reading.

I have been working with children for over 10 years. I have been an afterschool teacher to kindergartners with Harlem Children Zone.
With this company, I created lesson plans and schedules for a group of 15 students. I tutor students with homework, supervised field children and helped children put on performances for their parents. I was recently employed by Bright Horizons as an on-call nanny. With the company, I was required to fill in for families whose normal nanny was not available. I took the children on walks, and to museums, and help children tap into their creative side. I was able to ease the parent's schedule by stepping in and keeping the children in their normal routine. This company allowed me to work with children from newborns to 12-year-olds. I put children down for naps, prepared and served meals, changed diapers, and entertained children until their parents were working. I most recently assisted a new mother get adjusted to the joys of motherhood. I worked with her and her newborn son to create a sleep schedule, learn to breastfeed, and transition to bottles.

I believe all children bring something different to the world. I love to expose children to new things so they can find different things that they may like. I know these little souls are our future and with the right guidance, they can do anything their heart desires. I have been creating a life that is full of love, light, and experiences. It would be honored to show the youth they too can do it!
