Mia Talerico doesn’t need luck when it comes to managing her career.
That’s because the 17-year-old—who became an entire generation’s little sister thanks to starring in Good Luck Charlie in the 2010s—has worked with her family to find a healthy rhythm between being a child star and a regular high school senior.
“I don’t find it really hard to balance this life,” Talerico told Entertainment Tonight in an interview shared Sept. 4. “My parents thought it was really important for me to have a childhood because a lot of child stars just continue working, or they just get burnt out.”
Indeed, the actress—who has starred in the YouTube comedy Mani and the upcoming movie American Summer after debuting on Disney—knows that a work-life balance is important to help her reach future goals.
“My parents didn’t want that to happen to me, and having an education is also really important in my family,” she continued. “I’m going to go to college. I’m going to get a degree in something, and that’s really important to me as well.”
