Yrs Experience

I was born in Costa Rica and raised in Edmonton, growing up as the oldest in a large family where I developed a deep sense of responsibility, patience, and care from a young age. With years of experience working with children, I have cultivated a nurturing, reliable, and attentive approach that makes me well-suited for caregiving roles. Beyond my experience in childcare, I am a music educator, singer-songwriter, and alternative folk artist incorporating music, storytelling, and creative play into my interactions with children, helping them explore their emotions, develop confidence, and express themselves in meaningful ways. I love nature, painting, crafts, theatre, games and more. I am Red Cross First Aid certified, calm under pressure, and always enthusiastic about creating engaging, educational, and safe environments for the children I care for. My interests include music, outdoor activities, holistic wellness, and cultural traditions, all of which shape my approach to fostering a well-rounded and enriching experience for those under my care. I take pride in my warm and intuitive nature, ensuring that every child feels seen, supported, and encouraged to grow.

As the oldest in a large family, I have been caring for children since the age of eleven, developing years of hands-on experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I am Red Cross First Aid certified and well-versed in child safety, emotional support, and age-appropriate engagement. With a calm and patient approach, I create a nurturing and enriching environment where children feel safe and supported. As a music educator, I love incorporating creative activities that stimulate cognitive development, encourage self-expression, and foster a love for learning. Whether through music, storytelling, or interactive play, I strive to make every moment meaningful and engaging for your child.
