Hello! I'm a dedicated early childhood advocate with over 9 years of hands-on experience working with children of all abilities--including those with special needs and children who have experienced trauma. My approach is rooted in patience, empathy, and individualized care. As both a professional with an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education and a parent myself, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where every child can thrive. I believe in: Meeting children where they are, emotionally and developmentally Using trauma-informed and inclusion-focused practices Clear, consistent communication with parents and families I am currently pursuing further certification to specialize in supporting children with special needs, and I am passionate about helping each child feel seen, heard, and valued. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your family with care, experience, and heart.
