A little bit about me

As a stay at home mother of two now adult children I was involved in childcare in many ways throughout their school years. As they grew older I started nannying part time until my financial situation changed. I thought I needed a new career and became a real estate agent, I quickly realized this was not the path for me.

I found a fabulous family I have loved working with for the last five years.
As my families needs have changed, so has my nanny families, with all these changes I am looking to move north to be closer to extended family.

I have always enjoyed working with children. I started as a child myself babysitting at the age of 13.
After having my own kids and feeling called to being with them I would have after school childcare in our home, worked in the gym’s childcare, at our church as the K-5 children’s program facilitator, to a professional full time nanny .
I look forward to my next nanny family adventure.
