A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Annette, and I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and heart-centered care. I’ve been nannying since I was 16 and have spent the last three years working within a high school as a Social Worker. Having held my MSW since 2023, I have a deep understanding of developmental milestones and emotional wellness. Whether I’m caring for a 5-month-old or helping a 12-year-old with homework, I bring patience, reliability, and a focus on growth. I’m moving toward a career as a full-time therapist and am looking for a great family fit starting in August.
