Summary

I'm passionate about helping children grow emotionally and learn to communicate effectively. I've spent years working in childcare, creating engaging and safe learning environments where kids can thrive. I love using storytelling and structured activities to help them develop. On a more creative side, I'm also a self-taught hair and makeup artist, and I enjoy using my skills to make special events even more memorable. I'm always learning and growing, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
