As a certified Montessori educator, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to childcare. This background has deeply shaped my approach to nurturing children. I'm passionate about working with kids because they offer me constant learning opportunities, making every day an adventure in growth. My journey into childcare started early, as I am the oldest of four siblings, providing me with invaluable hands-on experience. Open communication is a cornerstone of my approach. I thrive in an environment where a family is comfortable being open and honest, as it fosters the best teamwork. When I'm not engaged in childcare, I actively explore the beauty of our world, staying physically and mentally active. My skill set includes problem-solving, creativity, and a deep sense of compassion. I am dedicated to applying Montessori principles and values in my caregiving, ensuring a holistic and enriching experience for the children under my care.

Ines was great with my high-energy toddler. She's extremely patient, even-tempered, and full of playtime activity ideas. She is Montessori trained, and it shows in her approach. They did daily learning activities with shapes, numbers, ABCs, colors, manners, worked on fine and gross motor skills, reading, drawing, etc. She also had him on a consistent nap schedule. She was good about communicating with me, and addressing any concerns we saw with him by coming up with a plan together. My toddler is starting preschool and will be making the transition to more socialization in daycare before that, and I'd definitely consider Ines for occasional babysitting, too.
