Birthday: June 1st

Hometown: Cape Coral, FL

Favorite Crayola color: Pine Green

Other languages: ASL (American Sign Language)

Background: I began babysitting when I was about 16 years old, and decided from then on that I always wanted to work with kids. In college I worked with a church for five years in the nursery, children's church, and youth teens. I have worked with children on the autism spectrum, some with allergies and others with behavioral issues. I’m an FSU alum with a Master's in Social Work, and hope to work in Leon County as a school social worker.

She’s cared for children as young as: 2 months old

Future plans: I plan to work with refugee and migrant families, helping them adjust to their new lives, develop meaningful connections in their communities, and engage in loving fellowship with the people of Tallahassee. I would also like to work with children through the county school system, helping them receive the resources and attention they need to thrive.

When she’s not babysitting: I have been trying to learn ASL and hone my elementary-level Spanish. Learning new languages is something I really enjoy. I also write poetry, bake cookies, make art, and read all kinds of books (my favorites are fantasy and mystery books).
