A little bit about me

I am a caring and outgoing person! I love to laugh and make others laugh. Kids bring me joy! The little things they do, learning, exploring and just be carefree! I love music and I think it’s important in the growth of a child as well as reading and playing. I like to cook because I like to eat and I also LOVE to feed others! I am an intuitive healer so a lot of things I just know! I don’t ever want to step on anyone’s toes which is why I don’t talk about what I do. I am here to give you an extra set of hands while also providing the children with love and support!

"Of all of our sitters and nannies, Miss Marquise had made the most special, meaningful connection with our daughter. She has an amazing personality and a very special way of connecting with kids that make them want to follow her every lead. My daughter still wants to visit with Miss Marquise every time she comes to town and that fact that Miss Marquise makes that a priority means she will always hold a special place in our family’s heart. We still miss her dearly!!"

A little bit about me

I love being a nanny!
It’s my goal to stay with a family long term so the children and parents have reliable care.
My heart swells when I see kids learn and overcome new challenges. I’m all about teaching kids new things and letting them teach me new things. Having a day where we can just go to the park and play without any screens is ideal. I strive to limit screen time as much as possible. I believe in teaching kids how to handle going out to movies and restaurants. Having conversations with those at the table and handle sitting at the table coloring instead of needing a device.
I have an amazing husband of two years. And three fur babies ( 1 cat and twin dogs). We have opened our home up to letting the nanny kids get a new environment for play time and even how to handle being around pets. Our back yard is fenced in and offers a great flat space for playing soccer or baseball.
