About me

I was born in Trinidad and Tobago. I went to Catholic school from age five to eighteen. My mom did a lot of babysitting as a child and I fell in love with working with children as I served as her assistant. I had many friends growing up and enjoyed playing "girlie" games, like hopscotch and moral, with them.

I migrated to the United States for college. I got my undergraduate degree in Biology and worked as a lab assistant upon graduation. I got married to an American and decided to make my life in the United States.

I accidentally fell into working as a nanny when the lab I was working in lost its funding. This was with a first grader whose mom had returned to school to study nursing. This early job was challenging but rewarding and I decided to change professions. Since then, I have worked with children spanning the ages of six months to eighteen years.

I decided to return to school to get a Master of Education so I would have formal training in pedagogy. I wrote my thesis on early language development and enjoy working with toddlers and preschoolers who are learning to speak.

Because of my background in education, I place an emphasis on homework and learning as a nanny. I have also worked as an after-school tutor. My specialties include English, math the basic sciences, physics, chemistry, and biology. My most recent tutee was a successful nursing student in Ohio.

My passions include theatre and I have worked in continuity theater. My favorite roles include Cleopatra in "Antony and Cleopatra" and Gertrude in "Hamlet."
