A little bit about me

Consider me the cool aunt who can make magic happen with whatever supplies we are able to scavenge; whether that’s making dresses out of Kleenex or propagating plants together! As an Experiential Activations Senior Producer in my full time job, I am professional, prepared and patient. I have also had experience with special needs children and adults and was the sole caregiver to my father who was in an unresponsive wakefulness state and completely paralyzed. I have two BA’s from Pepperdine University in Journalism and Humanities and graduated cum laude. More recently I completed 3 semesters of a Masters program in psychology. I love to clean and cook. I am a skilled seamstress and tutor. I was also a lifeguard and swimming instructor throughout college and have continued to swim my entire adult life. The demands of my full-time job are minimal, but the ideal nanny position will allow me to do both jobs without compromising quality to either duty.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I worked extensively with children from the time I was 13 until the age of 21 as a mother’s helper, babysitter, swim instructor and eventually live-in nanny for one of the wealthiest families in the United States. I transitioned to adult caregiving and am now returning to caring for children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts, swimming, homework, playing just about any game that doesn’t involve balls (I’m terrible at ballgames 😂), sewing, reading.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Keeping the children safe and supporting their parents in achieving whatever educational, psychological and behavioral goals they have set out for their family.

My experience with special needs children...

I’ve worked with autistic children as a part-time caregiver. I’ve also taught swimming to autistic and Tourette challenged children. I served as a caregiver to my sister our entire lives as she had a brain tumor that rendered her partially paralyzed. and affected her behaviorally. I have worked with trachea patients as well.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When I saved the two children I was watching from drowning in the ocean. To this day, I do not know how I found the strength to swim with one under each arm and kick us to safety but I will never forget that moment and the feeling of knowing I protected the children in my care.
