About me
I am an experienced childcare provider with over 11 years of nurturing and dedicated care for children, ranging from newborns to teenagers. My journey in childcare is fueled by my passion for fostering a safe, engaging, and supportive environment that promotes growth and learning.
Growing up on the beautiful island of Saint Lucia, I learned the value of community and relationships, coming from a family of nine siblings where love and patience were fostered which I carry into my work with children and their families. I specialize in tailoring activities to meet each child’s developmental needs, focusing on educational play, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, and age-appropriate learning.
My experience spans various family dynamics, allowing me to adapt to unique needs and routines. I prioritize open communication with parents to ensure a collaborative approach to care. Safety has always been my top priority; I am trained in CPR and first aid to provide peace of mind for families.
As a mother of two, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting, which enhances my ability to connect with both children and parents. My goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of the children I care for, helping them build confidence and curiosity.

that nurture their growth and creativity. Some of my favorites include: • Reading and storytelling: Encouraging a love for books and expanding their vocabulary and imagination. • Arts and crafts: Fostering creativity through drawing, painting, and hands-on projects that build fine motor skills. • Outdoor play and exploration: Promoting physical activity and curiosity about nature, whether it’s a simple walk or a fun day at the park. • Educational games and puzzles: Stimulating their cognitive development with games that challenge their problem-solving skills and promote critical thinking. • Music and movement: Using songs and dance to enhance their motor skills, rhythm, and expression. • Emotional intelligence and mindfulness: Helping children understand their emotions and practice patience, kindness, and mindfulness in their daily interactions. These activities not only promote learning but also help children gain confidence and build meaningful connections.
