A little bit about me

I’m originally from Sonoma County and recently relocated to Los Angeles. I grew up as the oldest of six, so stepping into leadership roles has always come naturally to me. I have over five years of experience in childcare and household support, and I’m known for being grounded, dependable, emotionally intelligent, and highly adaptable within busy homes.

My background combines childcare, wellness, and organization. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, a Certified Nutritionist, California TrustLine registered, and have certification in Early Childhood Development. I genuinely value creating environments where children feel safe, supported, engaged, and able to thrive emotionally and developmentally.

Outside of work, I love cooking, baking, wellness, psychology, beach days, picnics, travel, and creating healthy, balanced routines. I naturally bring calm energy, structure, warmth, and professionalism into the homes I work in while still being very interactive, fun, and hands-on with children.
