I worked as a paraprofessional in a classroom and spent 3 years as a Behavioral Technician supporting children and individuals with special needs. Through these roles, I developed strong skills in patience, communication, behavior management, and creating a safe, supportive environment.

As a mom of 3, I know what it means to nurture a child. I believe in training my children up in the way they should go. I love doing arts and crafts with the kids. We sing gospel songs and age appropriate songs together. I am not a huge fan of YouTube, but I love being more hands on “pencil to paper”. I create workbooks to cater to each child. I also provide Spanish teaching, Sight word flash cards, and Biblical teaching (parents choice). I’m a huge fan of hooked on phonics, so this course can be provided as well. I have my own vehicle. I rather to pick up the child and sit in my home, if possible. I cook and provide snacks as well. Thank you.
