About me

I grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island and am the youngest of 3. As a child, I was heavily involved in the arts and could always be found singing or acting. My parents had me doing a little bit of everything so I also played softball, golf and was a competitive swimmer my entire childhood. My love of music took me to school at Belmont University in Nashville where I majored in Creative and Entertainment Industries and minored in Music! Though, I babysat plenty before college and loved it, my time in Nashville really brought me to my passion for childcare.

I grew up in a neighborhood with many young families making that the perfect opportunity for me to kickstart my childcare career. At 12, I took a babysitting class and by high school I had amassed regular group of families that I was a date-night-sitter for. Fast forward to sophomore year of college, a friend told me about a family she knew who needed after-school care. This family was my first Nanny role, which transitioned into full time. The children were 3 and 6. My responsibilities included school pickup, bringing them to extracurriculars, meal prep, light house work, and overall, keeping the kids safe and entertained. The second Nashville family I worked for were two girls; a 3-month-old and almost 2-year-old. My responsibilities were providing meals, administering medication when needed, maintaining nap/feeding schedules and making sure that the girls were busy with age appropriate activities. I started my most recent consistent childcare job post-graduation when I moved back to Rhode Island. I was part-time with a family who has a 1-year-old girl. My responsibilities were providing lunch, maintaining nap and feeding schedules, going for walks, and keeping her busy with a work-from-home parent present.

My most important childcare philosophy is to highlight how each child is a complex individual no matter what age, therefore my approach to childcare needs to be exactly that: individual. I ultimately hope to be a positive role model to children and make sure they feel comfortable enough with me to try new things, be honest and be themselves.
