Childcare business owner and licensed notary delivering organized, family-centered operations.
What I'm looking for
I’m a childcare business owner and Licensed Texas Notary Public with 10+ years of experience across administration, customer service, and people-focused operations. I’m known for strong organization, attention to detail, and a team-focused approach.
As the Owner of Nana’s Little Bananas Home Childcare (Houston, TX), I manage and operate a licensed in-home childcare service, providing safe, nurturing, developmentally appropriate care—including overnight services. I collaborate with parents to support learning, growth, and each child’s individual needs.
Earlier in my career, I led early childhood education as a Lead Pre-Kindergarten Teacher, developing and implementing curriculum that promoted interactive, hands-on learning. I also monitored student progress and communicated with parents on child development.
Beyond childcare, I bring a strong operations background from property management, insurance verification, and administrative work—answering phones, dispatching loads, maintaining records/spreadsheets, verifying insurance, resubmitting claims, and supporting families in recovery programs. I’m driven to deliver excellent service while keeping everything running smoothly.
