What Guides Me

Experience

With 10 years of experience in providing childcare services, including those with special needs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every family I serve. My background includes specialized training in developmental disabilities, sensory integration, and behavioral support, ensuring that each child receives the attentive and tailored care they deserve.

Qualifications

I bring a strong foundation in child development, sensory integration, and therapeutic care. I graduated from an accredited Occupational Therapy Assistant program, where I excelled in pediatric dysfunction and early childhood development coursework. My education also includes specialized training in child development, nutrition, and safety, and I am certified in CPR and First Aid.

Before graduating, I worked as an optometric vision therapist under a board-certified developmental optometrist. In that role, I helped children overcome developmental delays through sensory and motor-based activities designed to support neurological growth and retraining. This unique experience deepened my understanding of how to support the whole child—mind, body, and brain.

Philosophy

I believe kids thrive when they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Every child is unique, and I provide personalized care that meets them right where they are—especially those with developmental differences.

With a background in pediatric occupational therapy and developmental vision therapy, I use evidence-informed strategies to help children build confidence, independence, and joy.

I encourage creativity, curiosity, and play—because growing up should be a beautiful adventure.
