A little bit about me

With over 6 years of experience in childcare, I still find joy in seen things through their lens of pure wonder. In my most recent experience I took care of 3 kids for 3 years - the youngest was 3 months and now she’s a big incredible three year old!

I bring a lot of energy, terrible jokes and nerdyness to everything I do. I’m very loving and patient, and adore teaching them about the world or caring for newborns. I believe the best days for kids are spent exploring parks and playgrounds, kicking a ball around, or simply discovering "treasures" in the backyard.

I’m active, proactive, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I can’t wait to bring my passion for learning and outdoors to your home!
