I grew up in New Jersey and moved to the Bay Area to be closer to my, at the time, two nephews. Embodying the role as their "Tati" was the beginning of my love for childcare. I have over a decade of hands-on experience with infants and toddlers. I have a bachelors degree in Marketing Management from Baruch College, a certificate in Early Childhood Education from Merritt College, and a certificate of completion of the RIE Foundations Course. I try to strike a balance between predictable daily routines & in the moment, child-led activities. I base much of my caregiving style on principles from Magda Gerber, Janet Lansbury, and respectful caregiving.
I have been running The Circle for the past seven years out of my home. The name, The Circle, is taken from my childhood street in Passaic, NJ, where I had many fond memories as a child. I hope to provide a space for your children to create their own memories and celebrate early milestones at The Circle Childcare. In 2024, I gave birth to my first son, and my love for this attentive, personal, and humbling work only expanded! When I'm not with the little ones, I like to go on hikes with my family, journal, dance, read, and lay in hammocks.
