About me

I'm a native New Yorker born and raised in the South Bronx. I currently reside in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn. I'm the middle child of 4 children and the only girl. As a child, I was always very fond of school. I excelled academically and was in specialized programs all throughout elementary and middle school. I'm currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Sociology at CUNY School of Professional Studies. After graduation, I plan on pursuing a Master's degree in Bilingual Early Childhood Education to jumpstart my career as a Spanish Immersion Montessori Educator.

I have about 5 years of experience working in a variety of child-care settings; from daycares, to elementary schools, to leading gymnastic classes. I've also had the pleasure of caring for many children as a freelance babysitter/nanny in private residences. The breadth of my experience is with infants, toddlers, and school aged children. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. I'm a heritage Spanish speaker and love incorporating the language in both classroom instruction and at-home care.

In my spare time, I love indoor gardening, getting lost in a good book, trying new recipes, and most of all, spending time with my cat Luna. I'm a little bit of a homebody, but I love warm weather and sitting out in the sun. Beach weather is my fave! I really am inspired by the Montessori philosophy and try to incorporate it into my work as an educator. My favorite thing about Montessori is that there is a strong emphasis on encouraging children to care for themselves and the world around them. I love empowering young children and instilling them with confidence. Early childhood is such a pivotal time in a child's life, and I'm so grateful to be apart of the growth and development of the children in my care.
