My favorite thing about working with children is getting to see them grow. I have had many of the children as infants and getting to see them transition into toddlers and preschoolers is such a beautiful thing to see. I bring lots of love to my classroom. I get very attached to the infants and love them as if they were mine. I give the babies all my attention and make sure their individual needs are met. I love when the infants build a beautiful relationship with my co-teacher and me. Makes my heart happy when the infants come in so happy to see me every day.

I live in North Billerica with my husband and our two boys, Valentino and Armando. Both started here at First Circle when they were little. We are very family oriented and love to get together with my extended family and make dinner. My kids love the water, so when we can, we go to the beach or the lake.

Since 2013 I have been bringing love and fun into the classroom. I care for each child as if they were my own! I love watching them grow and achieve new milestones as they go through the infant, toddler and preschool program.

I am Mexican. I live in Waltham, where I was born, with my two girls Valentina and Valeria, my mom, and our pet cat Kilo. For fun I love to travel with my girls and my mom. And I like to hang out with my family!

After working in hospice for 38 years, I switched to early childhood education in 2019 and have loved every minute of it.

My favorite thing about working with young children is being a huge part of their learning journey and providing them with a clean, safe, and secure environment. Watching and being part of each child’s growth fills my heart, knowing I was able to be a positive role model in their early life. I feel that I bring a calming energy into the classroom, and I try to give each child the tools they need to become their individual selves with positivity and security.

One of my favorite parts of teaching is getting to know each child’s unique personality and helping them feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. I especially love those everyday moments when babies recognize someone they know and their faces light up with excitement. Seeing children build confidence, explore new ideas, and celebrate their accomplishments reminds me why I enjoy this work so much.

I earned my associate degree in Early Childhood Education from Middlesex Community College and have always been drawn to the curiosity, creativity, and joy that young children bring to each day. Watching children learn new skills, gain confidence, and discover the world around them inspired me to pursue a career in early childhood education.

I enjoy bringing creativity into the classroom through art, music, books, imaginative play, and outdoor activities. My goal is to create a positive, organized environment where children feel comfortable expressing themselves, exploring their interests, and learning through play.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, taking walks, exploring new places, and being outdoors. The Very Hungry Caterpillar has always been one of my favorite children’s books. Although I can be a little shy when I first meet people, I enjoy building relationships and creating a positive environment wherever I go.

I love making a positive impact on children’s lives and seeing them reach their milestones. I am compassionate and creative, and I care deeply about every child’s well-being.

I am originally from Kenya, where I attended university. I plan to pursue a master’s degree in special education.

I now live in Arlington with my family. When I’m not working, I like to cook and to go swimming.

Working with children reminds me of how amazing and exciting the world can be. I love seeing things from their eyes. It makes me a happier and more positive person. Infants need consistency in their care I try to provide an atmosphere so they feel safe and emotionally secure. Supporting emotional development and being shown love and affection by me as their teacher. I try to build a trustworthy relationship with my babies and their parents. I hope I can give all my love and caring to them.

I went to school in Antwerpen, Belgium, and got a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and music. I have been teaching piano and taking care of young children for 50 years.
