A little bit about me

Retired litigation paralegal (32yrs) and preschool teacher/nanny (10+yrs). Non-smoker, no recreational drugs or alcohol. Federal Background check completed. I have a clean driving record.

I enjoy children of all ages and prefer engaging with rather than simply watching them. I believe that children should be allowed to discover and learn with gentle guidance and encouragement. I am somewhat old fashioned and protective by nature. My goal is to provide a caring and safe environment for your child while respecting individual family needs and dynamics. I believe that open communication and transparency with parents is vital to ensure that expectations clear and appropriate.

I prefer a set schedule, however I am flexible for on-call on occasion.

Patient, gentle, playful, creative - those are some of the words I would use to describe my childcare approach! When you choose to hire me, you’re entrusting me with part of your kid’s childhood. My goal is to build a relationship with your child and your family, to offer you peace of mind and security, and to create lasting memories with your little one. I love to color, make art, play pretend, listen to music, read aloud, and play outside!

I’ve been nannying on and off for five years, and I have experience working with neurodivergent kids. Outside of nannying, I work part-time as a freelance editor.

When I’m not working, you can find me treasure hunting at thrift stores, out to brunch with my family, or taking in our beautiful Northwest scenery at the park or in the mountains!
