A little bit about me

I am 26, kind, playful, and passionate. I value safety, routine, and fun! Looking for either a summer job, or something long term. I am looking for good people to work for- who want to work “with” the people around them. I have a wide range of work history- I am an experienced full time nanny, professional horse trainer, and have had a wide range of retail/ service industry jobs. I work hard and enjoy learning what I can to be the best at my current role. I am looking for a position where I can be a useful tool in making someone’s life a little easier, brighter, and less chaotic.

A little bit about me

I’ve loved caring for children for as long as I can remember. Growing up 20 years , I naturally took on a caring role with my younger siblings, and I always enjoyed helping, spending time with them, and making sure they felt safe and happy. As I got older, that feeling never went away — it stayed with me and helped me realize how much I genuinely enjoy being around kids and supporting them as they grow. I love creating a fun, comforting, and positive environment where children can feel cared for, understood, and free to be themselves. Being someone families can trust with their children is something I take seriously and truly value.
