About me
Originally from Georgia, with most of my childhood spent in New Jersey, I grew up in a large family and I'm now blessed to be the auntie to five amazing nieces and nephews. I started my childcare journey as a teenager, as families around town recognized my dedication and responsible demeanor. I attended University of Georgia, where I worked as a nanny and teacher while simultaneously getting my degree. Although childcare is my passion, I've held a multitude of other positions including non-profit director, community organizer, sales representative, event coordinator, bartender, and small business owner. With my educational background in Anthropology, exploring cultures is my passion. I'm an extremely curious person, and I support children in exploring their curiosities. I love to explore the world around me, and I love to travel! This year I was fortunate enough to take time off work to join my mom on international adventures. We traveled to 9 countries this year alone. Traveling with my mom is the most special part of my life. I was blessed with a mom who such a good roll model! As a nanny, I use my experience to encourage kids grow up well-rounded, respectful, curious. The world is so big, and anything is possible! I make sure kids have the confidence to know this.

In 5 years, I hope to be...
I have a jewelry business so I would really love to grow that. Currently, I’m working with non-precious metals and stones, but I am looking forward to graduating to precious metals and gems. I’d love to be a Mommy myself, so I see myself starting to focus on family in five or so years. I think I will still be doing childcare but in a different capacity. I am very community-oriented, and I want to instill that value in my own kids. I’d like to form a community of moms and families to help each other with our childcare and general needs, as well as educational needs. Because it does take a village! In the future I could also see myself going back to school to pursue a Masters in Early Childhood Education. There are a lot of possibilities and paths, all of them good choices!
Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I love to teach kids about geography, history, culture, and societies. I think it’s very important for children to grow up knowing that the world is big, that there are a lot of different types of people around us, and about the past and how it relates to the present. This encompasses so many things, like fashion, technology, architecture, etc. My interests are very applicable to most things, so I like to bounce off kids' specific interests. Children have so much wonder in them, and it must be fostered! I encourage them to explore their own interests, and I explore it with them. I love to engage kids in thought. They're little but they damn sure smart!
