"Throughout my career, I have prided myself on the connections that I've made with the children that attend our daycare. Gardens Daycare strives to offer the best care, in a nurturing environment.

Growing up, I volunteered in a daycare for 3 years as a teenager, and realized that I gravitated toward that profession. I became a mother at a young age, and became passionate about childcare. I realized that I wanted to provide a safe place for children to stay while their parents worked to provide for them. I strive to continually build a safe haven as perfect as the one I would entrust my own children to. I have been working with children for Fourteen years as a licensed professional.

Empathy is a huge part of what motivates my mission. When I had my own children and the time came to find reliable services to watch them while I worked, the anxiety was crippling. So many emotions run through you as your role changes to become a parent. I know how life changes, and that everyone wants what is best for their child, no matter what age they choose to come to daycare.

Being an entrepreneur and exploring all areas of childcare, I have learned that having an open relationship with each parent is extremely important for the stability of their child. I have made it my goal to create a place where parents can make that transition with ease and am proud to say that parents who have chosen Gardens Daycare have found this is the right place for them. Each new child is a new journey for me, and I make sure to take care of each new face that walks through my door with the same love and dedication as those that have been regularly attending."
