As the owner and lead care provider at Gilbert Family Childcare, I bring over two decades of experience in early childhood development and special needs education. My passion for working with children began when I saw the need for more affordable and safe childcare options in my community, inspiring me to launch my family childcare business in 2000. I hold a bachelor’s degree in child development, specializing in infants, toddlers, and children with special needs, including autism. My background also includes working as an early education teacher for the Los Angeles Unified School District and Riverside County Office of Education, where I gained valuable insights into both family childcare and center-based programs.

At Gilbert Family Childcare, I focus on fostering a nurturing, inclusive environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. I’m especially dedicated to supporting children with special needs, ensuring they receive the individualized attention and care they deserve. My goal is to build strong partnerships with families, offering flexible, personalized care that adapts to their unique needs. I’m committed to making a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I serve in the Perris, CA area.
