With over five years of professional nanny experience, a culinary background, and studies in Music and Early Childhood Education at Illinois State University, I bring a unique blend of care, creativity, and intention to each day with the children in my care.

At Sunpetal Place, I believe in the magic of early childhood in messy play, big feelings, silly songs, and small daily moments that help little ones feel safe, seen, and celebrated. My caregiving style is rooted in respectful, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate practices. I follow an authoritative approach to discipline, using tools like positive guidance, clear boundaries, and kindness.

I’m a proud cat mom to four spoiled fur babies, and a lifelong lover of art, music, nature, and all things whimsical and imaginative. You’ll find these passions woven throughout our days from art-filled mornings to backyard adventures, from music and movement to cozy storytimes.

Sunpetal Place is more than a daycare its a home away from home. A warm, structured, and joyful environment where children can explore freely, express themselves, and build confidence in their own time.

Thanks so much for being here. I’d be honored to be part of your child’s early journey!

With care,

Alma
