Hi, I’m Naomi! I was born and raised in Southern California, where I met my husband of 25 years. Together, we have four wonderful daughters, and I’m a proud Nana to a granddaughter and grandson. I later moved to Ohio from Oklahoma with three of my daughters and now live here with my best friend. Family has always been central to my life, and being a mother and grandmother has deepened my appreciation for each child’s unique personality and needs.
On October 26, I will celebrate 28 years of working with children. Throughout my career, I have supported children of all abilities, including those with autism, behavioral needs, and other special needs through the school district. In my last district, I also helped implement a behavior program designed to support students and encourage positive development. These experiences have strengthened my patience, compassion, understanding, and commitment to meeting each child where they are.
I’m excited to bring my experience and skills to the Primrose team. After nearly 28 years, I genuinely love working with children and look forward to helping each child learn, grow, feel supported, and succeed.

I hold a master’s degree in English Literature and a bachelor’s degree in Education. I strongly believe that teaching children the values of patience, kindness, respect, and trust from an early age lays the foundation for becoming responsible, compassionate citizens. Early childhood educators play a key role in shaping these qualities, and I am thrilled to do this at Primrose Schools. My goal is to touch the hearts of many little ones and inspire them to grow with confidence and kindness.

As Barack Obama once said: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life.” I hope to be that guiding teacher for the children I serve!

I am excited to be part of the Primrose team! I have over 20 years of experience working with people across customer service, team leadership and office administration. In roles ranging from Frontend Team Lead and Customer Service Manager at Walmart to Customer Service Manager at C.K. Travel.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring the same energy to working with children – supporting their daily activities and helping create a safe, caring space where they can explore, learn, and grow with confidence.

I believe every child is special, with their own personality, strengths, and way of learning.

I’m also bilingual in English Gujarati and Hindi which I hope will help me connect with an even wider range of families and children.

I’m looking forward to building positive relationships with the children, their families, and my coworkers, and to learning something new every single day.
