About me

I originally hail from the Detroit, MI area and have spent my years in New York pursuing entertainment and going to school. If my childcare experience has taught me anything, it's that you need to meet children where they are and really get on their level. Once I realized that the reason their emotions could be considered “dramatic" over the silliest of things was because they very well could be experiencing that feeling for the first time, it put a lot into perspective. Therefore, my tolerance for outbursts is high and I know I can handle whatever they've got! With my most recent job, I don't think I laughed so hard for so many consecutive days ever. Kids are hilarious. Their lack of filter, honesty, and precociousness enrich my life whenever I'm with them. Along with their humor, they really help me think about what's most important in life and how to be grateful for this life I've been given.

As someone who is passionate about the arts, I love to incorporate them whenever I can. I feel that art can be so many things including healing, mind expanding, and soothing. However, if arts are not their thing, I'd much rather do something they're passionate about. Whether that's play a sport with them, read aloud together, go on a museum run, etc. Sometimes seeing the world through children's eyes is like seeing things for the first time and that's why I love working with them.
