Summary

I have been passionate about working with children since I was 16 years old, starting as a summer camp counselor. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to care for children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens, in both professional and personal settings. My experience includes full-time nanny positions where I’ve been responsible for creating safe, stimulating environments that promote learning and growth. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing at Georgia State University, where I’m expanding my knowledge of child development and healthcare. This background has not only deepened my understanding of children’s physical and emotional needs but also reinforced my commitment to fostering their well-being. In addition to my practical experience, I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring that I’m equipped to handle emergencies with confidence.
