Founder & Director

​

With over 18 years of experience in education and leadership, my professional journey reflects a lifelong commitment to children, learning, and community impact.

​

Before founding Fun Nest in 2020, I served as an Environmental, Health, and Safety Director for DuPont, a global multinational corporation, where I specialized in environmental management and organizational leadership. I also completed postgraduate studies in People Management, strengthening my ability to lead teams, mentor professionals, and build structured, high-quality programs.

​

Even while working in the corporate sector, my passion for children never paused. I led environmental education initiatives in partnership with local schools and municipal programs, organizing tree-planting projects, sustainability workshops, and classroom presentations focused on water conservation and environmental responsibility. I frequently collaborated with community leaders and presented at public events, always with a focus on educating and empowering young children.

​

For over 13 years, I also served as a catechist in my community church, teaching and mentoring children through faith-based education, mission projects, and youth development programs. My work with children began even earlier, I cared for families as a babysitter during my teenage years and recognized from a young age that working with children was my true calling.

​

Although my career path expanded into corporate leadership, my heart remained rooted in early childhood education. Since moving to North America in 2016, I have dedicated myself exclusively to serving young children and families, combining my background in leadership, environmental education, and child development to create a program grounded in professionalism, structure, and genuine care.

 

Today, as the founder of Fun Nest Child Care in Erie, I bring the same commitment to excellence I practiced in corporate leadership, paired with the warmth, consistency, and individualized attention that define a boutique early learning environment.

My Philosophy

Every child deserves to be seen, understood, and guided with respect. By building strong relationships and understanding each child's unique learning style, I create an environment where children feel confident, capable, and inspired to grow.

​

I believe that trust, respect, and developmentally appropriate practices form the foundation children need to become happy, healthy, and successful learners.
