About me

I grew up in the vibrant city of New York, often referred to as the Big Apple. As a child, I was always inquisitive, constantly seeking to understand why people behave the way they do. This curiosity fueled my academic journey, leading me to graduate from the College of New Rochelle with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. After college, I entered the healthcare field, focusing on working with autistic children and adults. This experience ignited my passion for youth development and solidified my love for working with children. Today, I am a life coach and mental health mentor, where I support both children and adults in their personal growth and well-being.

Growing up in a large family as the eldest of three sisters and one brother, I was surrounded by children from a young age. With over 20 cousins, and twins running in the family, my love for childcare began early. Particularly, when my aunt had her first set of twins (she has three sets in total), babysitting these twins was a joy and significantly shaped my ability to care for multiple children, making it easier for me to handle one child at a time as I grew older.

Throughout the years, I have cared for children of varying ages, from newborns as young as six weeks to older kids. My responsibilities included changing diapers, sleep training, and assisting with the transition from breastfeeding to bottle-feeding with formula. As the children grew older, I adapted to their needs by meal prepping, potty training, managing school pickups and drop-offs, coordinating extracurricular activities, and planning playdates. My love for connecting and bonding with children has truly given my life a profound sense of purpose.
