About me

Growing up in Jersey City, I was immersed in a vibrant blend of diverse lifestyles, food, and experiences that broadened my horizons. My older sister played a pivotal role in shaping my values, inspiring me to prioritize education and explore the world. As a child, I loved exploring new places, organizing everything, and diving into books that took me on adventures beyond my imagination. I graduated from Montclair State University with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, where I took several courses focused on child psychology. This enriched my understanding of child development and inspired my journey into professional childcare. After graduating, I began babysitting for a family in Harrison, and soon after, I transitioned into a nanny role for a wonderful family in Hoboken.

I started working with children at 12, first as a mother’s helper for my aunt and later as my cousin’s babysitter. In high school, I gained more experience babysitting for teachers, and one summer, caring for two preschool children inspired my interest in psychology and child development. In college, I worked part- and full-time caring for children from 6 months to 9 years, managing routines like diaper changes, meal prep, and naps. After graduating, I specialized in caring for newborns to 4-year-olds, becoming First Aid and CPR certified. I use my knowledge to help children learn new skills, reach milestones, and, when possible, incorporate Spanish into fun, language-enriching activities.

I find immense joy in watching children discover the world around them and witness their personal growth. As someone who enjoys reading and continuously learning, I believe that the more I explore, the more valuable knowledge I can share with the children I work with. Each child deserves an environment that nurtures their individuality while offering support and guidance. My approach to childcare focuses on creating a safe and positive atmosphere where children feel encouraged to express themselves, take risks, and learn at their own pace. Ultimately, my goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning in each child.
