I’ve always been drawn to working with children because I genuinely enjoy who they are—curious, honest, creative, and constantly learning. I studied psychology, which gave me a strong foundation in child development, emotional regulation, and understanding behavior with empathy rather than punishment. I’m especially attentive to children’s emotional worlds and take pride in creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and encouraged to be themselves.Art is a big part of my life, and I love bringing creativity into caregiving—whether that’s drawing, crafting, storytelling, or simply helping kids express their feelings in nonverbal ways. I find that creativity helps children build confidence and problem-solving skills, and it also makes everyday routines more joyful. Families I’ve worked with have appreciated my calm presence, reliability, and ability to connect deeply with their children. I’m patient, playful, and intuitive, but also structured when it comes to routines, boundaries, and safety. I take my role seriously and see caregiving as both a responsibility and a privilege. I truly love supporting children as they grow into confident, kind, and curious humans.Skills: Art, Digital Art (photoshop), Cooking, Homework Help (UC Berkeley-grad)
