Hi! It’s nice to meet you, and thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love their curiosity, energy, and honesty.

I have over nine years of childcare experience in private households in the U.S. and internationally, including long-term nannying and a live-in au pair role in Italy during a semester abroad.

I would describe myself as calm, grounded, and reliable, with a warm and patient approach to childcare. I focus on creating a structured, supportive environment where children feel secure and understood, and I’m very attentive to emotional and developmental needs.
I also enjoy staying active, traveling, cooking, and learning about different cultures, and I bring a flexible, positive, and team-oriented energy into every home I work in.
