Summary

Since a young age, I have consistently felt a strong and passionate calling to work with children. My desire has always been to contribute meaningfully to each child's growth and development, fostering their journey into independent young adults and guiding them towards making informed choices in the future. I firmly believe in the significance of allowing children the space to be themselves, facilitating learning through play, and encouraging exploration of their interests.


I thrive in positive environments and am dedicated to supporting children as they navigate their developmental milestones. I am enthusiastic about acquiring new skills and am open to continuous growth within the childcare industry.
