A little bit about me
I’m a nurturing, creative mom and professional caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families during this fleeting stage of childhood. Parent of a 14‑year‑old daughter heading into high school, which has deepened my appreciation for how fast these years pass.
I bring over 20 years of experience as a Gerontologist in care‑centered leadership roles, grounded in patience, empathy, safety, and trust. At this point in my life, I’m thoughtfully exploring what my next chapter of purpose will be, and in the meantime I’m intentionally doing work I love, hands‑on caregiving.
As a babysitter, I offer a calm, attentive, and playful presence. I enjoy reading, imaginative play, light crafts, conversation, and supporting routines while honoring each family’s values. I’m reliable, communicative, and emotionally aware. If you have pets, that’s a plus, I’m very comfortable with furry family members.
My goal is to care for your child with warmth and intention, and to give you genuine peace of mind.

A little bit about me
I’m a part-time nanny as well as a mom to a toddler. I like to keep things lighthearted when I work with kids. I’ll often offer to play a silly song so that little ones can dance and get their energy out in a positive way. I also offer both hugs and space, both talking time and cool down time, depending on what kids seem to be communicating that they need in the moment. I typically try to speak to young children without too much “baby talk,” so that they can grow their vocabulary and become competent communicators.
My approach to childcare is informed in part by the ~3 years that I worked in daycare settings. In those environments, I learned a lot about child safety and typical child development. In nannying settings, I’m able to adapt that knowledge to the needs of the specific home that I’m working in.
