As a recent SDSU graduate with a Bachelor's in Child and Family Development, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on engagement to my role as a childcare provider. The experiences I have had working as an Associate Teacher in a preschool classroom and nannying have provided me with invaluable hands-on experience with young children, deepening my love for child development and expanding my understanding of what it means to be an educator and a caregiver.
