A little bit about me

Looking for a nanny who feels like family? I can be your very own Mary Poppins! With over 40 years of experience as a teacher (Master’s in Education) and many years as a trusted nanny, I bring both heart and expertise to every family I work with. Children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and inspired—and that’s exactly the kind of care I provide.

In addition to child care, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, errands, and meal preparation to keep your household running smoothly. I also offer postpartum support for new moms, making the transition a little easier during those first months.

I am CPR certified, trained in handling a wide range of situations, and bring a calm, caring presence to your home. Whether it’s nurturing infants, guiding toddlers through big milestones, or helping school-age children with homework, I love creating a warm, fun, and balanced environment where kids can grow and shine.

More About Me

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

With over 40 years of experience working with children, I bring a lifetime of care, patience, and teaching expertise to every family I work with. My background includes teaching in infant centers, preschools, and the past 24 years as an elementary school teacher. In addition, I’ve provided nanny care for many families with children ranging from newborns to teenagers (1 month to 17 years old).
I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, homework help, and even overnight care. I have my own car equipped with car seats and can provide many excellent references upon request.
Your children will be in caring, capable hands—and we’ll be sure to have fun while learning and growing together.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I can plan many fun and meaningful activities for your children. Field trips to museums, the beach, the park, or the library are just a few ways I create enjoyable, educational experiences. I love art, playdough, Legos, and imaginative play. Simple activities like neighborhood walks, yoga, board games, or coloring help children unwind and be present in the moment.
Cooking is another passion of mine—I’ve been cooking with children for over 40 years and like to think I may have inspired my own son to become a chef! I’m also happy to help with homework for school-aged children and support learning through play and everyday experiences.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I want to be the Mary Poppins for your family—someone who brings joy, structure, and a touch of magic to your children’s everyday lives. I’m looking for a family interested in a long-term commitment built on trust, consistency, and care.
My own nanny back in the day has been to all of my son's weddings. Being a trusted part of your family, with the best interest of everyone, is the goal.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of watching many of the children I’ve cared for and taught grow into wonderful adults—some are now getting married, attending amazing universities, and even becoming authors. To say I have one favorite moment wouldn’t come close to describing the blessings that come with a lifelong career working with children.
