I have always known I wanted to work with children. Even as a child, I loved playing teacher, and I went on to earn a degree in early childhood education from MassBay Community College.

Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding of infant and toddler development, needs, and behavior, but one of the things I continue to enjoy most is simply interacting with children and watching them grow into their own little personalities. Every child is different, and I love giving them opportunities to learn, explore, and discover what they can do.

I especially enjoy creative projects and offering children different materials to experience and experiment with. I like seeing how they respond, what captures their attention, and what they create when given the freedom to explore.

I believe good communication and strong partnerships with families are essential. I want children and parents to feel comfortable in my classroom and to know that we are working together to support each child’s growth and development.

I am originally from Walpole and still live there with my husband, daughter, and our dog. In my free time, I enjoy taking my dog for walks, and my family and I love soccer.

What I love most about working with young children is their innocence and the way they are constantly growing and changing. Being part of that growth—helping children learn, feel secure, and build confidence—is incredibly meaningful to me. I bring a loving, kind, and warm-hearted presence into the classroom, along with creativity and organization. As a mom to three amazing children, I also bring strong maternal instincts and a deep understanding of what families are looking for in the people caring for their children.

My path into early childhood education began early—starting with babysitting, then nannying, and eventually working in childcare centers. Over time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, and while I truly enjoy every age group, infants have always held a special place in my heart. I am currently in college studying ECE and am continuing my professional journey with the goal of becoming a director.

I have a special passion for arts and crafts and love designing thoughtful, curriculum-based projects that children can truly be proud of. Creating meaningful keepsakes for families is one of my favorite parts of teaching—I’m the kind of parent who saves everything my own children make, and I love helping create those same memories for others. Originally from New Hampshire, I now live in Norwood with my husband and three children. Outside of work, I enjoy baking and crafting, often alongside my five-year-old. Looking ahead, my goal is to become an assistant director and eventually own and operate my own childcare center.

My favorite things about working with young children is witnessing them grow and reach each milestone. I love building bonds with children through positivity and patience. I hope to give them a love for learning that they can take with them inside and outside of the classroom.

In my free time, I love to read, watch movies and TV series, go out and try new restaurants with my friends, and spend quality time with my family, such as going away together or enjoying our game nights!

I love my job because all my life I’ve always been surrounded by tiny humans, and being a part of their early lives—guiding and being there for their development—is very important to me.  I bring my best self every day, ready to work, being present with the children. I am kind, smart, and respectful. I want parents and families to know that I’m here to support and care for their little ones.

I have been working in the field since 2024, but I grew up in a big family. Being an older sister definitely contributed to my love for the work. I love seeing the milestones, seeing how they feel a connection to me as a teacher and the trust parents put in me to care for their babies. It is very rewarding.

I have a special interest in encouraging learning through activities, sharing lullabies, age-appropriate toys, storytelling, and creating a safe environment. I plan to continue my education, focusing on psychology and pediatric medicine.

I am originally from Haiti. I live in Roslindale with my mother and younger siblings. For fun, I like to be with my loved ones, I like to travel, explore, and try new things. I like to have fun, eat, watch movies, and play sports. For the future I want to be successful, get my degree, and take care of my family.
