Babes Principal and Teacher

I have been working at EcoKids since 2018. I absolutely love being the Principal and a teacher at EcoBabes. I enjoy establishing a deep love and respect for the families who cross my path. My main focus at our Babes House is to create a caring environment where my babies can thrive and grow and reach their milestones.

When I’m not in the classroom enriching little minds I enjoy, sewing, reading, crafting and being creative.

Playful Pups Teacher

I have been teaching for 10 years , and every single year I seem to find more and more passion for what I do.
It is my goal to focus on each child individually and allow them to flourish in their own strong points.

I am a mom to a very busy and sporty 4 year old boy, who just fills my heart with joy.

Allowing a child to be their own person is something I truly believe is most important , and it’s our job as teachers to guide them along the way to becoming the best little people they can be.

Each year teaching brings an opportunity for growth and learning, not only for the children but for the teachers too. “As you grow so I grow with you.” With better understanding, a lot of patience and holding a space of love and nurturing, I watch these little people step into themselves. Sharing the most precious moments. Touching lives is my purpose! I have been teaching since 2011 and I’ve been a part of the EcoKids family since 2017. I’m also a wife and bonus mom to an amazing little guy. We are an active little family and can’t wait for our family to grow.
