Summary

I am a kind and passionate early childhood educator with over 15 years experience in working with children in different educational related settings. I have been a home tutor, taught online preschool, babysat children, as well as been a full time nanny all while homeschooling my daughter for the past 12 years. Even with a busy schedule I have tried my best to stay actively involved with everything having to do with early childhood development. I have taken over 100 childcare courses through the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension. I also stay up to date by maintaining memberships with early childhood associations such as NAEYC and TXAEYC and attending their annual conferences as well as reading all the annual reports and guidelines that come out from the TEA. I pride myself in treating every child as an individual, making them feel seen and being able to make a difference in their lives.
