Helping children find their rhythm in life is the most rewarding thing! It’s incredible to meet them when they’re young and watch them keep getting better. During the time that children will be in daycare, they’ll have so many wonderful experiences: the first friends they make, the first time they recognize a word, the first time they remember celebrating a holiday or their birthday. It’s so special to be there for those moments. Even before having my two-year-old daughter, I was always known as the reliable person who loved kids. Within my church community, I was always happy to help local families and babysit. There was one family in particular whose kids I helped raise for over eight years. Those kids changed so much during that time, and it was always a joy to see them grow.

Kids are so inventive and inspiring! As an artist, I so appreciate being around their youthful energy and all the imagination they bring into the world! I have twenty-five nieces and nephews and helping raise them has been a huge part of my life. As a mental health counselor for over ten years, I learned how to deal with challenges, encourage growth, and nurture minds and spirits. And as an artist, entrepreneur, and fashion designer, I put creativity into everything I do – including my daycare program! My home is a supportive, fun, and creative space where children learn, grow, and blossom.
