I’m a 17-year-old high school student who’s worked hard to build strong communication and academic skills. I've earned the New York State Seal of Biliteracy, which demonstrates my proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking English and Spanish, and I'm currently working on my Civil Literacy Seal! In school, I’ve helped friends and classmates study and spent time supporting younger students with their homework. Those experiences taught me how to be patient and be able to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. I meet people where they’re at. Everything I’ve learned so far helps me show up as someone reliable, understanding, and ready to help other students feel more confident.

Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!
The older sister who knows how to have fun (and how to get them to listen lol)
I absolutely adore working with children! I love that I can still tap into my own inner child while spending time with them. Kids are so incredibly cute and full of wonder.
