Experiences with helping to raise siblings, have my own child, grandchildren, plus a former nanny, Headstart teacher/lead teacher/Childcare Centers Childcare Teacher/Provider. I am a professional Early Childhood Development Teacher/Childcare Provider. I like to think of my childcare business as a place, that the children and adults consider a home away from home...a place where play and laughter are fundamental to learning and growing...a place where they are loved and cherished...a place that embraces diversity and other cultures...a place that respects parents as the most significant provider and first teacher of loving, caring, understanding and nurturing of their child. Why did I go into childcare? The career path that I have chosen to follow as an Early Childhood Educator is to help guide, nurture and teach young children through their early years of learning and development. Offering to help educate and assist the families through the knowledge I have learned, through the Apprenticeship Program, College Degree, hands on teaching experiences, trainings and a plethora of other Certifications in the field of Early Childhood Education which I continue to acquire.

My role as a teacher is to encompass preparations for the classroom environment, in order to provide optimal pro- social learning experiences. To promote a comprehensive all-inclusive curriculum that enhances the development of prosocial skills. To be a person a child can come to and trust that I will be there for them.
