Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and families in a variety of settings — from classrooms and camps to cruise ships and resorts.
Developed and led daily activities for kids ages 7–17 that encouraged creativity, teamwork, and personal growth.

preschool teacher
I’m 34 years old and currently spending six months in the beautiful Mendocino area as a California State Parks volunteer, alongside my partner and our two senior dogs, Maisy and Sadie. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education and have over 10 years of experience caring for children in a variety of roles — including nanny, educator, camp counselor, preschool teacher, and youth activities leader on a cruise ship.
When I’m not working or volunteering, I love starting the day with a walk along the coast with our dogs, exploring new trails, or hunting for wildflowers. I’m passionate about creating calm, joyful spaces — whether that’s through caring for kids, helping families feel supported, or making sure a pet feels happy and at home.
